Planning Theory home
THIS COURSE IS ONLINE
Participatory etc. wrap-up and final lecture ZOOM 08.12. 14:15
This Autumn, this course will be arranged totally online. There will be a lot of flexibility concerning scedules, and the emphasis will be on LEARNING the basics of planning theory, not on staring at your computer/mobile.
Planning theory will be learned through reading, writing, and debating. We will concentrate on a limited number of key themes and get familiar with the stuff that is needed in order to UNDERSTAND what you are learning further down planning studies and become knowledgeable planners. For those coming from outside SPT, the course will provide a platter of planning theoretical basics and insights that will enable you to grasp what has been and is going on in planning, from theoretical points of view but with practical connections.
