Smart Environmental Planning and Design, Master in Spatial Planning

The new specialization, “Smart Environmental Planning and Design” in the Master of Spatial Planning program, equips students with cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills to address contemporary environmental and urban challenges, focusing on global green deals and digitalization of the planning process. During 3 semesters you will learn how to benefit from the digital revolution in a smart decision-making process aiming to create a sustainable future for all. This interdisciplinary program integrates sustainability, digital technologies, and strategic thinking to foster innovative and resilient solutions for cities, regions, and ecosystems.

Environmental planning focuses on decision-making processes that shape the relationships between natural systems and human systems. It aims to manage these interactions effectively, transparently, and equitably, ensuring benefits for both present and future generations. Some key elements of contemporary environmental planning include: social and economic development, urban and regional development, natural resource management and integrated land use, infrastructure systems, governance frameworks.

The course content includes: Geohazards and Urban And Rural Regeneration, Regional Policies and Spatial Planning, Geospatial Technologies for Sustainable Environment, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in Environmental and Urban Planning, Spatial Data Mining, Big Data, and Data Storytelling, Sustainable rural landscape development, Climate actions planning and governance, Green Infrastructure for Resilient Landscapes and Cities, Challenges in Environmental Impact Assessment for Sustainable Spatial Planning, UAV Technologies in landscape planning and monitoring.
