Cities are confronted with urgent social, ecological and economic challenges. The lecture provides basic information on current tasks and gives an overview of the repertoire of urban planning and design. It presents methods of critical analysis of urban phenomena as planning principles. Using historical and current urban development projects as examples, morphologies and typologies of the city, development networks and new forms of mobility, strategic planning approaches and forms of participation, and much more are explained. The course provides the necessary content-related and theoretical foundations for design work in the "studio context".
