The seminar ”European Spatial Planning” is part of the module ”European cities”. It is specifically designed for students of the master program ”European Urban Studies, M.Sc.” but is open to other master programmes (Urbanistik, IUDD, Erasmus…). The aim of the seminar is to develop an understanding and a wider reflexion of the diversity of planning cultures in Europe through the analysis of models, theories, key concepts and case studies. We will explore the topic though a set of questions: what are the main principles of spatial planning in European countries? What are the main, and somehow contradictory, challenges spatial planning must face? To what extent is spatial planning able to maintain social and territorial cohesions and to integrate the sustainability imperatives? What are the political and planning responses and what kind of instruments are developed?
The methods of the seminar will be a combination of lectures by the instructor, student presentations and discussions. To explore contemporary challenges students will give presentations on specific projects within these countries. Finally, we will look at key concepts of spatial planning on the scale of Europe. As a special within the framework of the IfEU jubilee year alumni of the institute will be giving inputs about planning in their countries.
