| 103-0317-00L | Sustainable Spatial Development I Only for master students, otherwise a special permisson by the lecturer is required. | 3 credits | 2G | B. Scholl | |
| Abstract | The lectures imparts important knowledge for solving spatial relevant conflicts and problems. Case studies will be used to demonstrate the implementation in practice. | ||||
| Learning objective | Spatial development deals with the development and the design of our living space. To meet the expectations, the interests and the plans of the different actors, it is needed a planning approach considering the overview of both the actual and future situation. The concept of sustainable development in spatial planning leads necessarily to an efficient management of the resources, especially regarding the resource land. The basics of this important discipline will be the subject of this lecture, which is therefore organised in three parts: - Inner development - Integrated spatial and infrastructure development - Cross-border issues in spatial development | ||||
| Content | Contents Tasks of Spatial Planning and development Issues of local and supra-local interest Recurring spatial changes, impacts and key figures Formal and informal instruments and procedures in spatial planning Spatial Design - Ideas about the future Reasoning and assessing the situation in spatial planning Spatial planning as a sequence of decisions and interventions Process and procedures management Focus issues - Inner development before external development Focus issues - Cross-border tasks Focus Issues - Integrated spatial and infrastructure development | ||||
| Lecture notes | Futher information and the documents for the lecture can be found on the homepage of the Chair of Spatial Development. | ||||
| 103-0325-AAL | Planning II Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit. | 5 credits | 4R | B. Scholl | |
| Abstract | The lecture imparts methodological and instrumental fundamentals for spatial planning and will be exemplified by exploring two Zurich city quarters. | ||||
| Learning objective | Spatial planning is concerned with the foresighted design of the built and un-built environment. Starting points are spatially relevant problems that need to be explored, clarified and solved. The cornerstone of the course is formed by an independent exploration by the student of two Zurich city quarters that involves investigating specific spatially relevant conditions, recognizing regularities and relevant problems. | ||||
| Content | The self-study course compromises the following readings: Chapters of: - Lynch, Kevin: «The Image of the City», - Alexander, Christopher et al.: «A Pattern Language», - Mikoleit, Anne and Pürckhauer, Moritz: «Urban Code», and - «SIDAIA - Spatial and Infrastructure Development: An Integrated Approach». The graded semester performance comprises a condensed paper to be written by the student reflecting both the literature read as well as exemplarily applying the knowledge gained from the literature by independently exploring the two city quarters. | ||||

| 103-0817-00L | Geomatics Seminar  | 4 credits | 2S | M. Rothacher, K. W. Axhausen, A. Geiger, A. Grêt-Regamey, L. Hurni, M. Raubal, B. Scholl, U. A. Weidmann, A. Wieser | |
| Abstract | Introduction to general scientific working methods and skills in the core fields of geomatics. It includes a literature study, a review of one of the articles, a presentation and a report about the literature study. | ||||
| Learning objective | Learn how to search for literature, how to write a scientific report, how to present scientific results, and how to critically read and review a scientific article | ||||
| Content | A list of themes for the literature study are made availabel at the beginning of the semester. A theme can be selected based on a moodle. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Agreement with one of the responsible Professors is necessary | ||||
| 115-0512-00L | Lecture Week 12: Spatial Development Only for MAS, DAS and CAS in Spatial Planning. | 2 credits | 1G | B. Scholl | |
| Abstract | In this course, the fundamental methods in spatial planning tought in the second week will be consolidated. In particular additional knowledge and practice in the fields of spatial planning methodology, spatial design and argumentation will be given in lectures and case studies. | ||||
| Learning objective | The aim of the lecture is the consolidation and the practice of important nethodic principles in spatial planning. They provide also a base for working on the second Study Project of the MAS program. | ||||
