Strategic Planning and Design
PLAN9063
The aim of PLAN9063 Strategic Planning and Design is to provide students with grounding in the core knowledge and skills needed to practice as a contemporary urban planner. A key emphasis in the unit is understanding strategic planning at a range of levels (both process and content), and applying this knowledge to a specific case study site. The latter includes a basic appreciation of planning and urban design skills in site evaluation, analysis and preparation of masterplans. Strategic planning in one form or other is a generic process that underpins much of the work that planners and urban designers are involved in at varying spatial levels.By the end of this unit, students will be able to explain the varied forms, scales and key issues involved in contemporary strategic urban planning and urban design, prepare a basic strategic context analysis, site analysis, design proposal, and an articulation of planning and urban design issues; and apply key technical tools. This includes basic demographic analysis, graphic presentation, consultation strategies and survey tools to urban planning and problems. Students will be able to assess strategic plans, including basic urban design criteria, and identify their role and implementation relevance in the planning process. In addition, this Unit of Study will enable students to develop generic skills such as group discussion, productive group work and organisation, negotiation skills and information literacy skills.This is an introductory core unit for the Urban Planning degree and an elective for the Urban Design degree.
