The students acquire professional competences based on important theories, models and methods of geographical urban development and research. After successfully completing the module, students will be able to interpret urban spaces worldwide in their historical, societal, political and cultural anchoring and analyse the development paths of structural, functional and institutional change in their dependence on influencing factors and reactions to processes such as globalisation, climate change, digitalisation, migration, demographic and societal change - and in particular understand them in their spatial multi-level context. 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 strategies and processes of the transformation of urban spaces within and outside Germany using selected examples. The students can adequately argue for the necessity of context-sensitive urban research.

Students acquire specialist skills based on important theories, models and methods of geographical urban development and research. After successfully completing the module, students will be able to interpret urban spaces worldwide in their historical, social, political and cultural context and analyse the development paths of structural, functional and institutional change in their dependence on influencing factors and reactions to processes such as globalization, climate change, digitalization, migration, demographic and social change - and in particular understand their spatial multi-level reference. They have a broad basic knowledge of urban development in Germany, from its origins to the present day, and have dealt with current strategies and processes of transformation of urban spaces within and outside Germany in a differentiated way using selected examples. Students will be able to argue appropriately for the necessity of context-sensitive urban research.
