This subject was formerly called Strategic Planning in Asia-Pacific Cities.
Many Asia-Pacific cities have undergone rapid urban development and change as they have become integrated into the global economy. The character of that integration has changed over time; at the same time social and political aspirations have been expressed in new demands for services and housing. This course will explore the urban planning implications of these changes in a city. It begins with a review of the global and local forces that have generated change in Asia-Pacific cities. This section will isolate key features for further investigation. These selected features will then be explored in seven days in the selected Pacific Asian city through a series of lectures, field inspections and field work. A third part of the course, involving seminar discussion, will be followed by report writing on planning issues in the selected city.
Intended learning outcomes
At the completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Describe and account for global influences on a selected Asia-Pacific city
- Plan and carry out data collection within an international city
- Relate the concepts of urban change to the experience of an international city
- Analyse urban policy efforts in an international city
Generic skills
- Field work design and operation
- Policy analysis
- Interpretation of urban outcomes in a new context
