This MSc examines conventional approaches in development planning, and the environmental conflicts generated by them, with specific reference to developing countries. It contrasts these approaches with the need for environmental sustainability and social justice and examines attempts to incorporate awareness of these goals into development policy making, planning and management. What and how will I learn? Students examine the complexity and variety of environmental problems in urban regions, their causes and impacts, and the potentials and limitations of environmental planning and management. They learn how to respond to processes that generate social and environmental change, and to develop strategies to steer urban environmental planning towards sustainability.
