SPL 508E - Urban Planning Project II (Kentsel Planlama Projesi II)

Dersin Amaçları

SPL 508E Urban Planning Project II has an interdisciplinary approach covering multi-layered domains of natural, physical and socio-economic data in our cities and urban settlements. Project is structured to comprise of (i) obtaining data in selected thematic frameworks and case studies through the project objectives, (ii) holding case-specific research (and data analysis) related to different disciplines according to these data, (iii) evaluating future estimations and objectives together with the sectoral, spatial and demographic projections to form planning strategies. Course outcome is indicated as (iv) alternative schema (scenarios) for planning in diverse scales of responding spatial organization and report explaining the planning decisions. The scope of the course covers theme-oriented research on particular planning problems and contexts (i.e. zero carbon cities for all and spatial planning for a sustainable community in 2020-2021, a democratic green deal in 2021-2022), development of strategic roadmaps, their complications and mediation through exploration on scenarios with theory-to-practice implications, planning solutions and the collaborative application of a select approach in responding to strategic priorities and action plans for the refined select approach. In the formulation of planning strategies and action, students are expected to improve their skills on understanding the interdisciplinary interaction related to aforementioned fields. Striving with the contemporary challenges requires making use of proper research and planning methods in the project. The proposals on planning action should intensify in urban planning, systematically transferring the current developments in the field of urban planning in written, oral and visual forms.

The objectives of the course are:

to discuss the relations of social, economic, cultural and spatial impacts on “environmental risks, climate change”
to develop students' ability to understand urban, natural, social and cultural change “in a critical discussion of growth and de-growth dilemma”
to gain applicable and legal planning understanding with a “spatial and critical thinking” ability “in an evidence-based and site-specific approach”.
