This course will cover theoretical, practical and applied aspects of regional studies, territorial planning, urban economy and social structures, as well as short and long term transformations. The theoretical section will be divided into two parts: (1) introduction to basic concepts including: urban planning, urban economic studies, regional studies, territorial analysis and planning, the relationship between memory and design and (2) analysis of the quality of urban spaces and of its determining features. The applied section of the course serves to illustrate the use of statistical data and geographic information systems (GIS) for a territorial analysis of the different components of urban quality within this workshop’s field of studies.
teacher profile teaching materials
The economics module focuses on the relation between ethics, economics, and business, both in economic analysis and management. It is articuletad into three aspects: First, economics necessarily involves ethics, and economists and managers cannot engage in economic analysis and decision-making without making value judgments. Second, individuals have ethical values that shape their behaviour and affect what happens in the economy as a result of their interactions. Third, ethical values are involved in evaluating how an economy is doing and in making and appraising business decisions.
The lessons are interactive and will include the theoretical perspective, case studies and project work.
