    Bachelor programme in Urban and Regional Planning (Faculty of Architecture Yıldız Technical University)
    (AESOP, 2023) Dabović, Tijana; Perić, Ana; Fikfak, Alenka
    The BSc in Urban and Regional Planning delivered at the Yildiz Technical University is distinctive in its focus on theoretical and methodological courses, interdisciplinarity and regional science. It brings together the following aspects of quality in planning education: Programme Curriculum and Identity - A blend of substantive planning courses and courses focused on communicative and strategic spatial planning constitute the three main pillars of the curriculum: knowledge, skills for professional competencies, and values and ethics, making the latter a crucial component of the curriculum. - Focus on contemporary research areas in urban and regional planning enable students to understand, research and apply their knowledge, skills and attitudes to solve complex problems and recognise and enable future opportunities in cities and regions. - Progression from mainly compulsory courses in the 1st year towards more elective ones on the final year stimulates the progression in student’s responsibility for their education and future professional engagement in urban and regional planning. - An excellent balance and exposure to theoretical, methodological and policy-based courses delivered by a highly qualified teaching team engaged in public services, visiting professors from a well-established global network, stakeholders and practitioners foster the intentional distinctiveness of the programme to integrate planning theory with practice while safeguarding professional ethics.

    Master in Architecture and Urbanism - Spatial Planning Module (Czech Technical University Prague)
    (AESOP, 2023) Perić, Ana; Silva, Paulo; Dabović, Tijana; Cotella, Giancarlo
    The Master Programme in Architecture and Urbanism - Spatial Planning Module delivered at the Czech Technical University in Prague enriches students’ knowledge in the field of regional policy and development, geography and social ecology, and skills in applied statistics, spatial analytics, ICT and GIS. In this way, the Module provides the students of the study programme Architecture and Urbanism an added value, extending their professional capabilities to the field of spatial planning. Additionally, it brings together the following aspects of quality in planning education: Programme Curriculum and Identity: - Acknowledgement of professional ethics through applied approach (e.g., studio course occasionally attended by real-world stakeholders). - A cross-disciplinary approach, seen not only in the structure of the courses offered in the Module but also in collaboration with experts in complementary fields from other universities. - A comprehensive yet well-interlinked and content-coordinated system of subjects.

    Master of Science in Spatial Planning Department of Spatial Planning and Environmental Sciences (Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, Warsaw University of Technology)
    (2024) Dabović, Tijana; Cotella, Giancarlo; Maidment, Christopher; Perić, Ana
    Warsaw University of Technology is distinctive amongst spatial planning programmes in Poland for being located in the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, reflected in the programme’s distinctive emphasis on geospatial technologies, environmental issues, spatial design, land management and revitalisation. Further strengths lie in the programme’s incorporation of inputs from key stakeholders, from understanding the views of communities to setting assessment briefs that respond to the needs of Polish cities. This reflects the challenges faced by contemporary Poland in addressing the environmental degradation caused by decades of prioritising intense industrialisation and urbanisation. The programme also addresses the ongoing reforms of Polish planning, as well as other challenges, such as a shortage of housing. Within this context, the programme brings together the following aspects of quality in planning education. Programme Curriculum and Identity The programme is organised around two coherent tracks, each building on a common first trimester with a mix of common and specialist modules in the second trimester and specialist modules in the third trimester. The overall mix is three-quarters common modules between the two tracks and one-quarter module modules specific to the track: - Environmental conditions of spatial planning – focused on land management, as well as the use of advanced geospatial technologies in decision-making process. - Urban design in spatial planning – focused on the preparation and development of planning processes and documents, including formulating land use plans, technologically supported by Geographical Information Systems, Computer Aided Design and Building Information Modelling.

    Master Programme in Urban Conservation and Planning (Yildiz Technical University)
    (AESOP, 2020) Galland, Daniel; Perić, Ana; Finka, Maroš
    The Master Programme in Urban Conservation and Planning delivered at the Yildiz Technical University is recognised as a study programme focused on the historic preservation, yet with a distinctive consideration of both management and implementation-oriented approach in addressing the topic of conservation planning. It brings together the following aspects of quality in planning education: Programme Curriculum and Identity • A pragmatic approach, i.e. the focus on implementation measures in a specific context, and not solely on the general principles of conservation. • Acknowledgment of professional ethics through different topics relevant to urban conservation (e.g. disinvestment/decay, pressures of gentrification, • displacement, large scale urban projects, including infrastructure investments, tourism development and dilemmas of keeping the authentic character) in relation to specified conceptual themes (e.g. sustainability, rights-based approaches in urban conservation, reduction of poverty, resilience). • A well-interlinked and content-coordinated system of subjects aimed at enabling a balance between planning issues and specific topics of urban • conservation. Principles of Pedagogy • Advanced models for providing the students with a broad research competence – from the basic skills for conducting fundamental research to those inherent in applied research and the dissemination of research results. • Best practice examples of student/alumni/employer’s engagement by enabling its members to develop stronger relations with the university’s community, find mentorship and gain access to new professional networks. • Stimulation of the studio project as a tool for practical reasoning and practical judgement. Strengthening active and independent learning through an array of diverse student tasks (essays, seminars, studio work, thesis).
