H02P4A - Human Settlements in Development Fall 2010 - Han Verschure

GENERAL INFORMATION The built environment in developing countries is characterized inter alia by rapid growth of towns and cities, restructuring of traditional modes of dwelling and inhabitation, new ways of planning and organizing the built environment, and new processes and production in the building sector. These aspects are embedded in changes in societies, cultures, nations, regions and communities operating on various scale levels from dwellings to entire (city) regions and indeed to the global scale of interactions. Increasingly the complexity of such changes is part of changing perceptions of development, at present oriented towards the desire to achieve more sustainable human settlements development.

SoE06 Interdisciplinary Debates on Development Cultures Fall 2011 - A. Cassiman, F. De Boeck, A. Loeckx, B. De Meulder

INTERDISCIPLINARY DEBATES ON DEVELOPMENT CULTURES: The debates and seminars make up an interdisciplinary reflection on the development of cities in the Global South and the different dynamics that shape them today. Renowned experts will share their alternative readings of these specific urban spaces. The lectures will acknowledge both the tensions and frictions in such sites, as well as the opportunities that are generated thanks to, or in spite of them. The debates pay much attention to the specific ways in which civil societies and city dwellers agency is enabled or disabled.

H02N1A - Strategic Spatial Planning Spring 2012 - Frank Moulaert, Loris Servillo PURPOSES The course introduces the students to a theoretical framework in order to reflect about the meaning of planning and its different aspects. Within this framework, the purpose is to give to the students the tools to become critical about the role of strategic approach in spatial planning. In particular the following will be analyzed: spatial planning context, the emerging new discourses on strategic planning, the differences with traditional planning (land use planning, master planning), strategic planning and the change process, the practice of strategic planning Spatial planning is exposed as a tool for deal with the management of transformations in a complex reality, through the combination of different authors contributes. The course will take into account the fundamental necessity to merge different approaches and sectorial analysis with territorial aspects, such as economic and social dynamics, administrative processes, business administrations, etc

H02N1A - Strategic Spatial Planning Spring 2012 - Frank Moulaert, Loris Servillo

Several teaching methods are combined to provide students knowledge, an in-depth understanding of the nature of the strategic approaches related to sustainable development and territorial cohesion aim The course has theoretical and practical components. Through a combination of selected reading, ex cathedra lectures and critical analysis of selected strategic interventions the students are introduced into the roots of strategy and strategic planning, the problems and challenges to be faced by strategic planning A specific part of the course is focused on strategic spatial planning cases and particular consideration is given to the contents and impacts of spatial strategies at different spatial scales.

TESTIFY! Over the years, our relationships with and attitudes towards food, health, energy, space, time, social relationships and (economic) value have spiraled out of control. Now, faced with the consequences of our over-consumption, we are desperately in search of ways to redress the balance. Is architecture able to play a part in restoring harmony? Can architecture help us to build a more sustainable society?
