The aim of this module will be to explore the relationship between planning theory, urban theory and practice and to debate and critique competing perspectives and thoughts on the role of planning interventions. The students are expected to design intellectually robust and substantiated planning interventions.

The aims of this module are to:

• identify and understand a broad range of challenges facing urban environments in different contexts including their drivers, threats and opportunities,
• understand how planning interventions (design and policy) can positively address social, environmental and economic issues within the built environment, and
• explore diverse international examples and how contemporary planning issues are affected by their context.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand planning policy and how it inter-relates with people in the context of UK and global contexts. In addition, the module will consider how policy is developed within a political system and the role of community engagement and stakeholder consultation.

The aim of the module is to introduce students to the concept of urban mobility, which is a complex system of systems that is evolving at a faster pace than any time in the past decade. The module provides comprehensive coverage of all of the major factors that underpin our understanding of urban mobility, including its planning, management, monitoring, and appraisal.

The aim of this module is for the student to gain experience in the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a problem in a specific area relating to their degree.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with an opportunity to develop and deepen their knowledge of, and connections between: management theories, practice and competencies.

The module is a unique combination of developing and deepening students understanding of their own management competencies, theoretical grasp of theory (leadership, teamwork, motivation, power and communication) and a fantastic opportunity to engage in experiential learning over three very challenging, problem solving days within an outdoor environment. Developing and then combining knowledge of management competencies, theory and practice with the opportunity to experience and self-reflect upon their connections is unique within this module.
