This course introduces three main tracks; how strategic urban and regional planning relates to challenges such as climate change, digitalisation, urbanisation and globalisation; how urban and regional planning is affected by geological conditions and how it contributes to spatial patterns and changes at a local, regional, national and global level; and to introduce fundamental planning tools such as GIS.
