Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students examine the processes and spatial implications of local and regional economic development and the interface between such development and long term physical and social sustainability of local regions, cities, towns and communities. We will also study practical methods for establishing and analysing the key components, characteristics and trends of local and regional economies and how they impact on different geographical areas. Students will develop skills to recognise opportunities for local and regional development; establishing processes for public sector agencies in fostering local and regional development; and identifying the constraints on sustainability of the environment and communities. There will be an opportunity for students to develop strategies to identify the necessary trade-offs and compromises between local and regional development, sustainability and geographic place making.
