    To develop competence to solve problems of design and organization of urban space, attending society demands within the professional competence of urbanists. Students should be able to connect an understanding of issues in question and to deepen knowledge on the specific urban resources available at the urban design and spatial composition field.

    Learning outcomes should be:

    - Adequate use of terminology and language-specific of the field and CU;

    - Ability for research on the themes covered;

    - Knowledge and skill to solve specific issues of urban design in new situations; - Design skills to solve urban and compositional spatial problems.

  • 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.
