    2. Discuss the environmental changes and anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems and communities

    3. To relate principles of Urban Ecology and Sustainable Development with the respective urban, landscape and ecological measures

  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    The preparation of a transversal work, common to most of the curricular units, which contains the particularities of each UC, is a practice that promotes a specific understanding of the subjects specific to each UC and knowledge of their relationships in the context of work in urban planning, preparing the student to solve complex problems. Seminar classes, where different topics are addressed in a coordinated manner by different lecturers, allow for a broader approach and the consolidation of more comprehensive knowledge in the fulfilment of the course programme.
