| dc.description.abstract | In our on-going research about the future of planning education, we defined planning as a boundary discipline (Gilliard & Thierstein 2015). Boundary disciplines are different from other scientific disciplines. While most sciences isolate and study the relation between a limited amount of factors separating the world small comprehensible chunks, boundary disciplines synthesise by combining knowledge from multiple fields. Hence, planning education goes along with many challenges, first and foremost the conflict between task complexity and time constraints. The relational complexity of urban planning already requires a diverse set of competencies (Healey 2004: 542). In addition, the selected set of competencies needs to be feasible to acquire within a given educational time frame, in demand at time of graduation and able to prepare students for future challenges. We suppose that educators deal with this challenge in two different ways: normativity and specialisation. Both strategies share their effort in reducing complexity in order to fit the necessary competencies into the limited frame of time available for bachelor’s and master’s programmes. | |
