Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

Faced with the growing complexity of urban and territorial phenomena, it is proposed to enrich the vision of the city so that future engineers understand the complexity of urban phenomena. The course proposes an approach to urban and territorial planning that goes beyond the traditional limitation to strictly infrastructural, technical, or functional parameters. The syllabus proposes a polyvalent approach, extending the perception and analysis of the topics addressed to the rest of the areas involved in the planning and design of the city.

This subject is taught by lecturers from the Area of Urban and Territorial Planning. More information on the academic activity carried out by lecturers from the Area can be consulted at https://web.ua.es/docenciaurbanismo

Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2024-25

  1. One of the main focuses is the study of a place's potentialities, with identity values greater than the exclusive support of activities and infrastructures, transforming the simple functional vision, limited to the strict compliance and implementation of infrastructures and buildings, for a sensitive view of its specific characteristics: the context, the landscape, the heritage, and the environment.
  2. The study of the territory as a general framework and prior to the study of the urban space, the place where our daily activities take place. Nature, form, and representation of the territory. Analysis of the relationship between infrastructure and the city: the impact and enhancement of infrastructures and the recovery of large infrastructural areas, especially railway stations, transport hubs, ports, and airports, as shaping agents in the creation and transformation of the new urban space.
  3. The approach of this theme is aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals
    • SDG 10: Reduce inequalities.
    • SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
    • SDG 13: Climate action
