Urban Spaces:
Students acquire specialized skills based on important theories, models and methods of geographical urban research. After successful completion of the module, students will be able to interpret urban spaces worldwide in their historical, societal, political and cultural anchoring and analyze the development paths of structural, functional and institutional change in their dependence on exogenous (keyword: globalization) as well as endogenous influencing factors (keyword: demographic and societal change) - and understand them in particular in their spatial multi-level relationship. They have a broad basic knowledge of urban development in Germany from its origins to the present day and have dealt in a differentiated manner with current transformation processes in urban areas within and outside Germany using selected examples (including from Western Europe, East Asia, North and South America). Students will be able to adequately argue for the need for context-sensitive urban research.
Spatial Planning:
Students have knowledge of the concepts and organizational structures of spatial planning in Germany as well as their legal foundations and planning responsibilities. Spatial planning in the federal territory, state planning with a focus on NRW, and urban land use planning are taught. Environmental concerns and specialized spatial planning supplement the knowledge in areas relevant to the professional field.
