This course focuses on a planning and design group process in order to integrate individual design products into a final balanced, integral and strategic group design

The focus is explicitly on the relation between research and design from an urban planning point of view

The design task concerns an integrated and strategic urban design for the transformation of a priority neighbourhood / city district

The quarter consists of three parts, which have their main focus on planning and design by research for location development and planning and design by strategy in a group process which integrates the individual products into a balanced and strategic definitive group design

The project is based around moments of improvement and adjustment within the cyclic-iterative planning process; they are explicit moments, in which students can see and learn how to improve their designs based on planning and design research

The student:
- is able to present the impact of design (architecture and urban) on regeneration processes
- is able to link problems to design solutions
- is able to distinguish strategies of urban regeneration, understanding the conditions for regeneration and necessary changes
- is able to give insight into problems and research developments for urban planning and its role in the preparation, elaboration and evaluation of projects
- is able to understands how planning and design (processes) can be seen and used in terms of scientific knowledge (knowledge based planning and design)
- is able to show pictorial and written skills in presenting the plan and design clearly to others
