More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. By 2050 urban population is expected to increase to 6.6 billion due to rapid urban growth in Asia and Africa. The main issue of urban planning in growing cities is to accommodate rapid growth in a sustainable manner through the integration of land use, transportation and environmental planning. On the other hand, in cities with stable or declining population, the issue is to redesign resilient community, city and region. In this course, theories and practices of urban planning in both developed and developing countries will be introduced.
The content of this class is consistent with the diploma policy of "proposing concrete solutions to various issues facing society from the perspective of science and technology," and aims to help students acquire the "creativity," "ability to think," "analytical skills," and "developmental skills" that are important for engineers and researchers, as stated
