Cities are formed by social, spatial, political and economic dynamics, but also by policy interventions. The style, method, and tradition of planning interventions have changed over time. In this course, students gain insight into the change from modernist top-down and design-oriented planning approaches to the more bottom-up, society-oriented approaches of today. Second, students are introduced to the field of work of planning and the role of planners in policy-making from a broader governance / city governance perspective. Third, students learn how planning theory has shifted and evolved over time. Particular emphasis is placed on the connection with contemporary planning approaches and theories. The following questions are central to this course:
1) What is planning?
2) Who are planners?
3) What do planners do?
A number of articles are assigned as required reading (see links at the programme below).
