Sustainable urban and spatial planning
Short description
The focus is on questions about the effects of the changing basic conditions on planning and developmental processes: demographic change, socio-economic and ecological changes as well as internationalisation. Spatial reference levels are the city and region, with which both the rural area and urban sub regions (accommodation areas, town centre etc.) are considered. The principle of sustainability is founded in the equal balancing of environmental, social and economic goals.
An interdisciplinary co-operation of different fields of activity from the fields of architecture, applied social science, urban and spatial planning, landscape architecture, horticulture, forestry, and transport, in co-operation with external partners makes an overview of the complexity and the reciprocal effects possible in sustainable urban and spatial planning.
