Description
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the ideas, narratives, theories and practice of 19th, 20th and 21st centuries town and country planning, by using Britain 芒鈧�� the first country in the world to industrialise as a primary case study. The module covers the historical development of planning practice, its theoretical and conceptual basis, the political and regulatory justification for planning, and the institutional and policy frameworks. The course also tracks the international travel and dissemination of critical ideas in planning across different national social and cultural contexts. It finally offers insights into the future of the planning profession in line with climate change and the development of post-pandemic and resilient cities.
By the end of this module, students will be able to appreciate the stages through which the planning system has evolved, its interplay with social and environmental history and wider impacts on urban transformations. They should also get a solid grasp of key planning and urban theories that are informing both research and practice.
