Spatial Planning Instruments

The attendance of the curricular unit does not require basic knowledge.

The teaching methodology to follow will be based on the analysis and critical reflection of territorial dynamics, as well as on the formulation of practical problems that will be applied to Portuguese municipalities. Serious games, such as iPlan developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), will also be a pedagogical tool to be used throughout the semester, as it contributes to the consolidation of the contents taught.

This curricular unit has two objectives. The first objective consists of acquiring knowledge of the various instruments of territorial management at national, regional and municipal scales and respective scopes of action. The second objective intends that, at the end of this curricular unit, students will be able to integrate teams responsible for the elaboration, evaluation and follow-up of territorial management instruments.
