LEARNING OUTCOMES

In addition to the main general objective of understanding the quantitative and qualitative change of scale that Regional Planning entails (directly related to sustainable development), and taking into account the general degree and module-specific competences established in the syllabus, the following 6 more specific objectives can be defined for the subject:

1. To learn the basic concepts of the historical practice of Regional Planning, before it became a scientific-technical discipline in the 20th century.

2. To understand the reasons that motivated the appearance of Regional Planning as a scientific-technical discipline, related to the problems of the first metropolises or large cities, as well as the first concepts that guided it.

3. To be aware of the European Union's approach to Regional Planning and its evolution, particularly in the Charter of the European Regional Planning (1983), the European Territorial Strategy (1999) and the European Territorial Agenda 2020 (2011).

4. To understand the Basque Government's approach to the Regional Planning and its evolution, especially the Law on Regional Planning of the Basque Autonomous Community (1990), the RPGs (1997 and 2019), the PTPs and the PTSs.

5. To acquire basic knowledge of environmental protection policies, especially concerning the Basque Country, and in the context of the Regional Planning.

6. To have a knowledge of the implementation of the notion of landscape within the Regional Planning, especially in the EU through the European Landscape Convention (2000) and in the ACBC through the Decree on Landscape Protection, Management and Planning (2014).



CROSS-CUTTING COMPETENCIES

The syllabus has not defined any. However, the subject includes the following cross-cutting competencies to be developed through theory and workshop based classes (as per defined in the EHU-UPV Catalogue of Transversal Competencies):

GK - Social commitment

KO - Communication and multilingualism

EC - Ethics and professional responsibility

BE - innovation and entrepreneurship

PK - Critical thinking.



On top of that, being a Regional Planning subject where all aspects of life are considered, it will adhere to most of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), with a special focus on the following goals:

9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

11 - Sustainable cities & communities

13 - Climate action

A. THEORY CONTENT

Theme 1: Cartographic and documentary sources for the Regional Planning (RP). Analysis of a basic planning document (activities scheduled per session/week).

Theme 2: The concept of RP. Goals, objectives and historical practice.

-Human beings have always organised the territory through their activity. Historical notes on RP.

-From balance and harmony to the breakdown of balance and over-exploitation of land. The need for Regional Planning.

-The Environmental Planning of the Territory (the incorporation of the Environment and Ecology to the RP).

-RP as state policy/public function.

Theme 3: From the European framework of RP to the territorial planning systems of the Autonomous Communities.

-Recent evolution and trends (new “coordinates” of the European RP)

-RP in Spain, a competence of the Autonomous Communities.

-RP in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, the Chartered Community of Navarre and the Communauté d'agglomération du Pays Basque.

-RP in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. RP instruments and procedures. The renewed Regional Planning Guidelines (July 2019): evolution of the RP in the Basque Country.

Theme 4: Phases of the RP process, methodologies for territorial diagnosis and proposals: the Territorial Model.



B. PRACTICE

-Analysis of a planning document, as the first activity of the subject so that students know, without practically prior knowledge of the theoretical frameworks or analysis methodologies, what type of situations, problems, etc. are addressed from the RP.

-Critical analysis of the approaches and proposals of a sectorial/thematic aspect of one of the Basque Functional Areas in order to (choose and/or combine the following):

-Based on the results of the critical analysis, modify the proposals made by the Territorial Partial Plan (TPP).

-Specify/develop some of the proposals made by the PTP, justifying them.

-The objective of the course is to address issues that cannot be resolved by municipal planning, so that the need for a higher-ranking instrument is understood.

The teaching methodology includes lectures & seminars, workshop sessions, out-of-classroom learning and tutorials. If circumstances allow, a field trip may be arranged to visit the project site.



Lectures & seminars:

They provide the essential theory-foundations of the subject. These lectures are complemented with presentation and debate sessions, aimed at the evaluation of the assignments; the analysis of exemplar case studies that expand the theory lectures; the reading and discussion about relevant writings; and the public defence of the assessments carried out.



Workshop sessions:

These are follow-up sessions that facilitate the monitoring of the progress of the assignments, from their early sketches to their final presentation.



Learning outside the classroom:

Students deepen the teachings acquired in class through the reading and analysis of various specialised texts selected and recommended by the lecturer(s).



Tutorials:

These are aimed at providing additional time to revise the exercises handed in, and providing personalised feedback and feedforward guidance for future exercises. In principle, these are not intended for ordinary corrections, unless these could not be completed correctly in the workshop sessions.

Continuous assessment system

Assignments are part of the continuous assessment of the subject. Passing the course in the ordinary call requires the delivery and passing of all the assignments (group and individual practice work), as well as the completion and passing of the final test.

The continuous assessment will be formative and summative, i.e., once the assignments have been handed in, the lecturer will offer feedback and feedforward to students, offering the possibility of improving and re-submitting their work.

Students or groups who have not handed in all the assignments will not be able to take the final test corresponding to the continuous assessment.



Final assessment system

Students have the right to waive the continuous assessment system, as long as they inform the lecturer in writing and in advance, during the first 9 weeks of the term.



Not presented

Students who are not enrolled will not be allowed to sit the exam. Students who, having produced some assignments wish to be listed as not having taken the exam, must inform the lecturer in writing at least one month before the official date of the final exam.
