Course/Module description:
Urban planning is a major component of urban dynamics and a field for the application of smart city tools. The course aims to introduce changing ideas of urban planning and technological, economic and political transformations that explain them. It discusses changing conceptions, from visionaries such as Ebenezer Howard, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, to present day strategies of "neoliberal" planning, smart/sustainable growth and (new) urbanism, concluding with likely future trends in light of technological breakthroughs, global warming challenges and post- COVID-19 realities.
