Planning and Design in Europe I

Basic idea of the module

Working and further education in Europe are becoming more and more important - the opportunities for professional employment, recognition and registration on the one hand, and the profiles required for vocational training and continuing professional development on the other, will thus be important aspects in the future.

Applied research and development is now being carried out increasingly within the realm of Public-Private-Partnership. It is therefore important to be able to operate in this complex field.

Planning in landscape architecture is being increasingly governed by European legislation (e.g. the Flora-Fauna-Habitat Guidelines). Yet each European country has its own diverse, national planning regulations in both a methodological and legal sense. The aim of this module is to build up an understanding of professional European planning instruments and legislation and their application 

Learning outcomes

• Understanding of European research practice and its potential for  landscape architecture.
• Knowledge of the European planning system and the ability to apply the relevant planning instruments in practice.
