Landscape Theories and Landscape Planning

The course landscape theories and landscape planning connects theoretical frameworks and concepts of planning literature with landscape planning research and practice.
The lecturers will introduce students to the main theoretical debates on space (e.g., spatial perceptions, recognition of social groups in space, participatory procedures in planning, and spatial distribution)
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the theoretical knowledge to conduct theory guided spatial research as well as to use theories to better understand planning practice.

In 20 classes, the course touches on the following theoretical debates (preliminary):
