  URBAN GEOGRAPHY

Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2021-22

Desde principios del siglo XXI la mayor parte de la población mundial vive en el medio urbano. Los espacios urbanizados son una realidad creciente y cada vez más preponderante tanto en el ámbito social como en el territorial.
La Geografía urbana es una asignatura obligatoria que se imparte en segundo curso del grado en Geografía y Ordenación del Territorio. Analiza el hecho urbano, la evolución de las ciudades y de los espacios urbanos, las tipologías y las estructuras urbanas, la realidad social y medioambiental, y la evolución de las políticas de planeamiento urbano en España.
Los contenidos formativos y las competencias de la Geografía Urbana se relacionan con casi todas las asignaturas básicas de la titulación, impartidas en primer y segundo curso, y son esenciales para las asignaturas de tercer y cuarto curso más vinculadas con la aplicación práctica de la geografía y la ordenación del territorio.
