Course contents
The subject provides a basic understanding of the production as well as the interplay between the parts in the process that leads ends up in an approvable area-plan, including the “regulatory rules” and digital tools. The focus is on projects that are easily grasped by the students yet provide the opportunity to work with all the elements of a more complex area-plan process
