Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4019203DNR voor alle studenten in het 2e semester met een inleidend master niveau.
This course deals with the recent development of the discipline of urban design. The course outlines the different schools of thought and approaches applied to deal with the 'permanent ' crisis of the 20-21st century city. This crisis is, among other things, outlined through a discussion of the current urban problems of the Brussels metropolitan area. In addition, the course deals with approaches that call for urban regeneration with a concern for tradition and context, as opposed to approaches that embrace the modern, fluid, dispersed and diffuse urban reality of the late 20th and early 21st century. In this reality nodes of infrastructure are new foci of urbanity. The wider territory and regional and landscape design start to play an important role in dealing with this urban reality. Finally, the European practice of urban design, ' le projet urbain ' or the ' proyecto urbano ' as it is named in France and Spain respectively, is put on the map. Here, also the achievements of the current practice of urban renewal in Flanders is being treated, as it is ever more often the field of action of internationally renowned urban planners.
