Subject Overview:

This subject is designed to enable students to apply knowledge and skills developed in their 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 as well as analytical and presentation skills.
