Credit points: 15
Subject outline
The planning and design of cities and the management of the environment have become disputed issues leading to community conflicts and contentious processes and solutions. In this subject students use a series of recent and contemporary disputes and case studies about the planning and design of urban areas and environmental issues to understand the use and preparation of planning schemes, planning permits, the implementation of planning laws and regulations and the resolution of conflicts. Techniques and ideas to design and manage the planning and design of cities to ensure that conflicts are minimized and the quality of urban areas and the environment are enhanced are examined and evaluated through a series of practical fieldwork exercises.
