This course aims at fostering the understanding about current processes in urban neighbourhood transition in European cities. In addition, the main actors involved in the Dutch planning context are identified to develop an actors-centred knowledge on urban and neighbourhood development.Course content:
At the beginning, the course provides an introduction into the Dutch urban development and planning context with a focus on “active citizenship” and cooperative planning approaches. While introducing the ‘actor-centered institutionalism’ as our theoretical approach, we provide a common methodology for individual empirical research during the fieldtrip. Based on collectively developed research themes on current issues in urban (neighbourhood) development in The Netherlands, the participants are asked to build small groups (min. 4 students) and develop a selected research topic.Course output:
At the end of the fieldtrip, the student groups submit a blogpost in the form of an academic online story. These blogposts will be available online for an interested audience. The academic online stories are based on a consistent step-by-step approach:
1. Research design for a selected research theme including the research interest, literature review, research questions, methods and indication of case study areas. To be presented and discussed on 23.5.2017
2. Draft version of academic online story: To be written during the semester, to be presented (05.09.2017) and to be reviewed by students and course leaders.
3. Mandatory feedback tutorials: by the course leaders on the research design (25.04.2017) and the outline of the academic online story (20.06.2017).
