Description

Collective efforts to influence land use change and the structure and behaviour of spatial activity systems in their environmental, social and economic dimensions take place at different geographical scales. This advanced course focuses on the supra - local - regional - scale: that is, metropolitan sub-regions, metropolitan regions as a whole, and non-metropolitan regions. The emphasis is primarily on the metropolitan scale where the conditions requiring spatial planning are most in evidence. The course addresses the organization of government and public-private relationships in achieving spatial planning objectives. While the empirical focus is primarily on the Australian scene the principles apply internationally and reference is made to international cases. Instruction employs lectures and class discussions. Assessment is via research papers and student presentations.
