Course Objective

This course intends to examine the action area of physical planning in light of the views by World Commission on Environment and Development and the literature on Ecological Science and to determine the strategies, policies and tools of ecologic balance-based (sustainable) urban planning.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   to list the physical planning components
2   to describe urbanization
3   to interpret the ecologic content of city planning
4   to analyze the approach of economics toward nature
5   to integrate the features of measurable data of physical planning with those of sustainability
6   to evaluate the importance of urban planning in formation of urban areas
