Ms Angela Munro| Subject Overview: | This subject is designed to enable students to apply knowledge and skills developed in the previous three years' study to 'live' planning issues, in depth, in a selected area - similar to the 'real world' experience of planning.. It will provide the opportunity to learn from and interact with a wide range of relevant decision-makers, each contributing to students' understanding of a major urban planning challenge in the selected locality. Response to that challenge, through group work alongside staff and involving site visits, will foster data gathering, analytical and presentation skills. |
