The general objective of the course is to acquire the basic notions of the practice of Urban-Planning, concerning its management and delivery. It considers the aforementioned general competencies of the Degree and specific competencies of the Module established in the Study Plan. In addition, the following six specific-objectives concentrate on the administrative and legislative context of Spain, with a focus on the Basque Autonomous Community and Navarre.



1. To learn the basic concepts of town planning legislation and its historical and conceptual evolution.

2. To be familiar with key Planning Tools to establish land regimes.

3. To understand the fundamental concepts of urban planning at a structural scale and at a detailed scale.

4. To have knowledge of the basic concepts of urban development management, with regard to the fair distribution of burdens and profits derived from the urbanisation process; as well as the different types of Urban-Actions and the agents involved.

5. To acquire knowledge of the urban development management tools; in particular the Urban Development Action Programmes, Urban Development Agreements and Land Consolidation Projects (re-parcelling of land titles).

6. To understand the bases of land valuation and the methods to obtain the land necessary for the delivery of public- and social- infrastructure.



CROSS-CUTTING COMPETENCIES

GK - Social commitment

KO - Communication and multilingualism

EC - Ethics and professional responsibility

A. THEORY CONTENT

Theme 1 Basics of Urban Planning and introduction to Urban Development Management

Theme 2 Urban action types & systems

Theme 3 Instruments for urban development management

Theme 4 Land valuations and feasibility studies

Theme 5 Land consolidation projects (re-parcelling of land titles)



B. PRACTICE

Through practice assignments, students will propose a comprehensive urban plan that aims to provide solutions to an area in a city —from planning and design stages, to management and delivery stages— as specified in the class.

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.
