Course Objective

The aim of the course is to cover initially the analytical methods for understanding the industrial development as a basis for urbanization and then to develop necessary back ground for the students to think about the bureaucratization and centralization. The process of such a study requires detailed analysis of potentials of a urban region. Process of urban planning is subject to discussions in comparison to national planning and the concept of economical growth is also needed to be over viewed. Therefore industrial development and the problem of industrial location and clustering are to be analyzed in regional context.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   will be able to define industrial revolution and its worldwide impacts (Knowledge),
2   will be able to understand the relations between industrialization and urbanization (Knowledge),
3   will be able to describe actual situation of economical development (Comprehension),
4   will be able to interpret the regional data and the industrial location (Application),
5   will be able to relate regional planning to location of manufacturing (Analysis).
6   will be able to propose a normative problem solving the existing situation (Synthesis),
7   will be able to revise the actual industrial planning system (Evaluation).
