Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Provide the students with the basic concepts related with the process of landscape assessment. Integration in the social context.
Provide students with the knowledge and tools necessary to an integrated approach in spatial planning processes.
The emphasis is given to the importance of taken into account the different actors in the process. Interdisciplinary is taken as a first step to a successful process, involving several disciplines (landscape architecture, architecture, engineering (bioengineer, civil, environment, ...), geography, economy, sociology,...), according to the paradigm of sustainability.
