Session 9 Wrapping upSession 1 to 3 will introduce the students with the current scientific and institutional debate on sustainable cities. They each will be complemented by a discussion based on media content (monocle, arte, etc.), cognitive mapping (Lynch, 1960) or role plays.
Session 4 to 8 will be organized as follow: we will start with a theoretical background critically introducing the various perspectives in the scientific debate. Students will then test their knowledge through an interactive case study proposing in groups recommendations to improve one neighborhood’s sustainability located in the city of Vienna. Students will present their results and analysis in the classroom.
Session 9 will be organized as a wrap up session around a site visit, followed by a short critical discussion.The aim of the course is to introduce participants with new and cutting edge knowledge on sustainable cities. The class is framed to 1) get familiar with the current scientific debate on sustainable development while 2) observing and analyzing how sustainable issues are tackled on the ground; 3) have students develop their own critical perspective on sustainable cities; 4) come up with new critical perspectives for their personal research project.Students will be working alone and in groups of 3 or 4 max.The language of the course will be English.
Students should be proficient in English (oral and writing) and have background in urban planning and urban studies.
