Within the course students will be presented with the basics of spatial and urban planning. Special attention will be devoted to the functional processes in the regional and urban context, as well as the mechanisms of sustainable development. The dominant issues of spatial development will be discussed with the primary goal of training students to understand the complex regional and urban processes within the overall physical and social context.

Students will be trained to understand the current problems of spatial and urban planning, as well as to analyze different concepts of development. This will enable the student to synthesize new knowledge through practical activities and interactive discussions. Students will be able to use the acquired knowledge in further education, linking it to the adopted elements from other disciplines that are studied in the framework of the study program.
