Built about 70 years ago to secure peace and prosperity on the Western peninsula of the Asian continent, this hybrid \u2013 intergovernmental and supranational \u2013 organisation is a formidable example of how contemporary nation states constantly adapt and reinvent themselves, and thereby, revisit key geographic notions, i.e. region, border, territory, regional development. The EUropean political construction has a significant spatial component.<\/p><p>This course introduces you to the spatial dimension of the EUropean political project. It investigates the EU\u2019s spatialities \u2013 places, regions and territories \u2013 to explore the EU\u2019s importance as a power centre in today\u2019s world. Throughout the class, we examine how social processes at local, regional, national, European, and global level are interconnected and interdependent. For example, we examine how local conditions shape the way citizens relate to the EU project, what values and norms the EU political project endorses and how it positions itself in Europe and in the world.<\/p><p>The class uses flipped pedagogy. Prior to the class, students watch a video online introducing the main concepts and class content. During the seminar, students read a journal article. Students engage with the content by completing exercises in small groups, answering questions and discussing with the whole class.<\/p><p>By discussing some of the most up-to-date academic journal articles published in European studies, Geography and Spatial Planning with their peers and the lecturer, the course is an opportunity for students to both apprehend some of the most complex issues faced by the EU (i.e. rising populist votes, transitioning towards a greener economy) and to critically reflect upon them.<\/p><p>As this course is delivered in the first semester, it not only introduces you to the field of EUropean spatial development but provides also methodological guidelines on how to read a scientific article.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The breakdown of the grade reflects the multiple types of skills we will work on throughout the semester:<br><ul><br>For MABS students, the class counts 3 ECTS: 100% class participation .<br>For MAGEO, the class counts 5 ECTS: 50% research paper, 50% participation.<br><\/ul><br>Marking criteria are:<br><ul><br>Subject knowledge<br>Capacity to articulate a research question including relevance and specificity to question<br>Use of evidence (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, academic sources)<br>Developing an argument \/ analysis<br>Critical evaluation \/ thinking<br>Structuring<br>Presentation and style<br>Use of language<br><\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul><br>Andy Pike, Vincent B<br>\u00e9al<br>, Nicolas Cauchi-Duval, Rachel Franklin, Nadir<br>Kinossian<br>,<br>Thilo<br>Lang, Tim<br>Leibert<br>, Danny MacKinnon, Max Rousseau, Jeroen Royer, Loris Servillo, John<br>Tomaney<br>Sanne<br>Velthuis<br>(2023): \u2018Left behind places\u2019: a geographical etymology.

It is philosophical in the sense that the overarching rationales for scientific inquiry (in general) and disciplinary development (in particular) are deeply embedded in the knowledge base we are accustomed to using. The material we are expected to digest (presented in textbooks, academic editions, research papers, conferences) has not evolved naturally as a result of the neutral search for objective truth, but also inhibits the nature of academic inquiry as socially driven, if not constructed. Indeed, wider social, economic and technological developments have always been important frameworks for the emergence of scientific disciplines (new discoveries, or the demand for teachers and higher education).The task of keeping up with the generation of knowledge as a student, teacher or researcher is also highly practical in the sense that dealing with the seemingly ever-accelerating disciplinary progress is a huge challenge. Keeping up with the latest developments in geography and planning seems increasingly difficult. Over the past two decades, this has been largely due to the changes that the Internet has brought to the routines of knowledge production and, even more so, to publication within and beyond academia. The sheer volume of potentially relevant scholarly work available online is difficult to monitor, almost impossible to \u2018control\u2019, and sometimes surprisingly diverse, if not contradictory. For this reason, we devote reading seminars such as this one to acquiring effective tactics and strategies to build your own knowledge base and learn how to deal with what others have done before.Keeping knowledge bases under efficient control requires a proper but careful use of resources. Nothing starts from scratch but relies on the work done by others. For this reason, it is essential to take account of the current state of knowledge before adding to it on the basis of your own research. In order to meet this challenge, various sources of secondary information come into play, among which the following four categories seem to be the most important: i) entries in encyclopaedias (e.g. on human geography), ii) review articles in academic journals of all kinds, iii) survey articles in the specialised journal Geography Compass, iv) last but not least, articles published in Progress in Human Geography, which are dedicated to presenting the state of the art in the discipline.In order to reflect and assess the development of the knowledge base in geography in historical contexts, the course will make particular use of referencing bodies. To this end, the first step of the students\u2019 work will be to reflect on disciplinary progress by reading and commenting on entries in the \u201cDictionary of Human Geography\u201d (now in its 5th edition from 2011, Wiley-Blackwell). The Dictionary has long been regarded as one of the most important sources of disciplinary knowledge and continues to enjoy this reputation. It contains around 1,000 entries on all aspects of human geography, written by 111 experts in the field. By comparing key entries to the Dictionary from different editions covering subjects such as &#8216;geography&#8217;, we will discuss major differences between these phases and thus identify disciplinary progress, however this is to be defined.<p>Consequently, the method of the course will consist of the triad of reading, discussion and writing. To this end, short introductions to the themes and approaches of the discipline will be provided via Moodle. Starting with a short overview of the historical development of the discipline (when, how, by whom were they framed? What were the central ideas, assumptions, ideologies?), students will have the opportunity to delve more deeply into key entries in the dictionary and other sources. Joint exercises will focus on reading, analysing, interpreting and commenting on the issues presented<\/p>\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        50 % guided reading and course presentation; 50 % assignment paper                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        \u00a0<br>Required readings:<br><ul><br>Bonnett<br>, A.

Applying human geographical approaches in urban studies, the class will examine the \u201cwho\u201d, \u201cwhat\u201d, \u201cwhere\u201d, \u201cwhy\u201d, \u201cwhen\u201d, and \u201chow\u201d of humans and their relationships to each other and to their environments. The central aim is to understand the processes that constitute urban spaces in the 21st century, by (1) analyzing the relationships between society and place, and (2) focusing on social, economic, political processes and how they change over space and time. As the course includes several excursions of Luxembourg, students will be introduced to transformation processes particular to Luxembourg. These include processes of urban growth and decline, municipal development, dilemmas of a small state, and the associated local policy responses of each. Against this background, students will be familiarized with the conceptual fundaments of sustainable development and achieve an understanding integrative approaches in spatial planning and regional development.The course is structured into two parts:<ul>First, students will be taken on a series of fieldtrips that will introduce them to contemporary patterns of spatial development, the specificities that characterize the case of Luxembourg. Fieldtrips include excursions to the City of Luxembourg including Kirchberg, Esch-sur-Alzette and Belval, and the Nordstad. (Note: Students should check weather and be prepared with appropriate outdoor wear).Second, a set of lectures (seminar format) will introduce the conceptual underpinnings of sustainable spatial development in the context of contemporary human geography. The fieldtrips will also be discussed, including reflections on the various policy responses that have been observed in Luxembourg and the Greater Region to address issues of spatial governance. <\/ul>For each class, one student will volunteer to take notes and prepare a report (\u2018The Minutes\u2019) that can be circulated to the rest of the class and to the professor at the following meeting. By the end of the class, each student will be have provided one class summary. And, a group work will be required by the end of term. These submissions in combination with evaluation of participation form the basis of the grading. Students will be provided with a detailed schedule of classes and associated readings. This is available on the Moodle. Students must check the Moodle on a regular basis to ensure that they are up-to-date.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        100 % in-course assessment                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Core readings will be made available on the Moodle.

In that course we discussed the evolution of disciplinary changes (theories, paradigms, styles of thought) in geography over some 60 years or more, and we tried to keep pace with the related progress, based on the reading of some key documents. This seminar now deals in a similar vein with spatial planning, which is the second major focus of MaGeo.<br>Planning represents a hybrid discipline that includes engineering (this is also the degree planners usually obtain from university), and social sciences that provide the proper understanding of the subject matter. Again, making yourself familiar with these developments is key to preparing any piece of work in this particular context.<br>The seminar builds part of a triangle of possible engagements with spatial planning, as the contents are first related to the upcoming course MaGeo-22 \u201cCities, Masterplanning and Urban Governance\u201d, where 3rd-Semester students learn about some basics of this subject (historical evolution, major trends in practice, plan evaluation); as an assignment for MaGeo-24, they will have to prepare a single case study on a selected plan\/framework of their own choice. Participants in that course will also include students from the UL\u2019s Master in Architecture, so we may have a chance to get deeper into some details of planners\u2019 practical experience.<br>Moreover, in case students opt for the qualitative stream in MaGeo, they will do the 23-13 \u201cProject in Urban Studies\u201d, which offers both a chance to explore the related contents in depth, and also to learn and apply the case study method as one important approach to a possible master thesis.<br>The general aims and objectives of the \u201cMaGeo-24 \u2013 Progress in Planning\u201d-course are similar to \u201cFoundations and Trends in Geography\u201d, which are i) making proper use of the existing knowledge basis and ii) keeping pace with its recent evolution, which seems to be a challenge in times where the sheer magnitude of available resources is increasingly difficult to handle.&#8221;<br>However, planning has changed since it became institutionalised in the<br>first half of the 20th century, which is both a result of changing external framework conditions (socio-economic shifts, i.e. urbanisation, growth, and the like), and also internal shifts of planners\u2019 discourses, perceptions and methods, in response to changing societal and professional norms and ideals. Such changes are well documented in handbooks, readers and journal papers, and they reveal a broad range of thoughts as to what this theory is actually about. Anyway: much more than it is the case in geography, which also has its applied branch, the \u2018proof of the pudding\u2019<br>\u2013 here planning theory \u2013 is effective practice. Hence our subject matter is only partly the \u2018theoretical\u2019 body of literatures and writings, but also the practice of planning that usually contributes to revising and re-writing this knowledge basis.<br>Guiding questions of this course that should be answered by way of reflection are as follows: \u201c(1) How do we understand the history of planning? (2) Is planning about means or ends, processes or outcomes, and should it emphasise one or the other? (3) Why should we plan, and when? (4) What are the constraints on planning in capitalist political economies, and how do those vary in different contexts? (5) What are the values that inform, and should, inform planning? (6) Is there a singular, identifiable \u2018public interest\u2019?\u201d (Fainstein &amp; DeFilippis 2016, 5)<br>In order to provide robust answers to these questions and to assess the<br>development of the conceptual knowledge basis in spatial planning in historical contexts, the course will make particular use of referencing bodies. For that purpose, a first step of students\u2019 work will be to reflect upon disciplinary progress by reading and commenting on selected entries in the \u201cReadings in Planning Theory\u201d (now available in the 4th Edition as of 2016, Wiley-Blackwell). Apart from some introduction given by the editors, the book presents a range of already published works from academics and planners. By reading and discussing parts of these seminal works, students will learn to detect key issues and identify disciplinary progress, however this is to be defined.<br>Moereover, two distinct sources of periodicals will be used as well: selected papers from the Journal \u201cPlanning Theory &amp; Practice\u201d (T&amp;F Publishers) and contributions from \u201cProgress in Planning\u201d (Elsevier Publishers), both accessible from the UL\u2019s library system. Key issues to be discussed are central concepts or axioms developed in planning.<br>Consequently, the method of the course will again consist of the triad of<br>reading, discussing and writing. As a case study, the English planning system, planning reform and planning practice will be explored further.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Final exam during exam session<br>50 % guided reading and course presentation; 50 % assignment paper                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Required readings:<br>Fainstein, S. and J.

Knowledge about enforced (through Structural Funds) multilevel governance, its different features and developments as well as relevant management features.<br>Students should have acquired a number of skills: to be able to analyse particular governance situations with regard to territorial development and should be able to identify and define options for acting for different actors in different governance constellations, to analyse governance structures (description of the actor\/institutions with regard to spatial development phenomena and policy options), &#8211; to define strategies for actors to achieve policy objectives and to unblock deadlocked situations,\u00a0 to present the ideas and insights in the format of research papers and of policy-oriented briefings, to be able to act in the framework of EU funded programmes as a means of territorial change processes. <br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>This course is focusing on making the link between theory and practice of the governance of policy making of EU, cross-border and national territorial policies governance influences on and risks involved in territorial policy-making. Regarding theory the meaning of governance, in general terms, and the constitutive elements involved in policy are discussed in detail. Following this overview, practical examples and typical governance constellations and situations are highlighted in the discussing practical examples of governance constellations. At the end of the course by the example of the Interreg programmes financed under the European Structural and Investment Funds practical instruction is offered about how to participate in EU-funded Programmes and how those activities across national borders contribute to the objectives of European Cohesion policy. It will be demonstrated that result orientation and accountability are important issues when dealing with multilevel governance.<br>The complexity of reality calls for an increasing complexity in governing this reality. Democratic institutions are complemented by a network of consultative bodies, the interdependence of public and private bodies and actors of different sectors and, on different governmental levels, are the subject of growing awareness and are, thus, calling for policy responses. These trends lead to the insight that policy making is not a matter solely for governments. Thus, a broader approach is emerging considering all actors, their relations, their motivations and their strategies under the term &#8216;governance&#8217;. The course firstly offers an understanding of what governance means, in general terms, and which are constitutive element for the understanding of governance as a concept. <br>The course acknowledges that territorial development involves policy processes of particularly high complexity. All development is territorially bound at some point &#8211; even the internet and hyperspace are physically bound to cables, transmitters and servers somewhere located. Territorial development is the result of resources being used and interactions taking place at a certain locations of the territory. Resources and infrastructures are determining factors for the developmental potential of a location or territory. In return, territorial policy-making requires the understanding of the particular challenges to governance with regard to the complexity of territorial development. <br>The course addresses how governance is working in practice across governmental levels from the EU to the local level. Typical governance constellations are presented as such as EU regional policy, metropolitan area governance or trans-border development and presented and discussed using many practical examples and cases study material. Finally the course offers an insight into the joint European funding instrument of Interreg programmes supporting cross-border cooperation and territorial development by strengthening the economic, social and environmental development in the European Union with reference to the EU 2020 strategy. <br>The course is divided up into the following parts:<\/p><ol><li>Introduction: Governance &#8211; theoretical Background: definitions, applications to the issue of spatial development<\/li><li>Governance in theory in selected contexts: Economic governance &#8211; Governance and New Public Management, Governance in networks, multi-level governance<\/li><li>Governance in the practice of spatial development policies: European level &#8211; regional policy and territorial cohesion, National level and regional level horizontal and vertical coordination, Crossing jurisdictions: metropolitan areas, trans-national and cross-border spatial development, local level spatial and urban development<\/li><li>The case of Cross-Border Cooperation: Multilevel Governance in practice of European Structural and Investment Fund Programmes of Interreg.

Drawing from a number of rich disciplinary traditions coming from geography, sociology, psychology political science, law, etc. migration studies address a variety of topic concerning the movement of people and the diversity resulting from this movement.<br>The course will offer an introduction to this field of studies and the main concepts, theories and themes relevant for the understanding and study of migration. Additionally, the course will encourage students to critically reflect on and engage with the main notions, categories and terms commonly used in political and public discourses when discussing the movement of people, problematizing their meaning and uses.<p>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\u00a0<\/p><br>Final exam during exam session<br>Active participation in class and critical engagement with the readings<br>\u00a0<br>&#8211; 20 percent active participation<br>&#8211; 30 percent oral presentation during the semester<br>&#8211;\u00a050 percent essay at the end of the semester<br>\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        (non-exhaustive list)<br>&#8211; Scholten, P.

The course develops a set of exploratory approaches, stressing visual methods and mapping, the multidimensional characteristics of geographic data, as well as the complementarity with more confirmatory analyses as undertaken within the course MAGEO-06-41 (Statistics and Econometrics for Geographical Data).<br>The course is designed to further understand how one can explore point and area based multivariate geographical data sets.<br>The first part is dedicated to a set of practicals to using R for input-output and handling of geographic data, for thematic mapping, and liaising back and forth the outputs of statistical analyses with maps. The second part focuses on geostatistical methods for point pattern analysis, spatial trends (lowess, loess, (co-)variograms) and interpolation (kriging), spatial kernels and correlations. The third part concentrates on visually exploring and mining multivariate data sets, including visualizing multivariate data through glyphs and plots, computing multidimensional distances and scaling, as well as performing principal component, factor and cluster analyses.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        20 % weekly R practicals, 80 % report based on analysing a multivariate geographical data set to answer a set of particular thematic questions (relating socio-demographic census data to urban spatial structure)                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6a75befbe71c6\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                METHOD Advanced Spatial Analysis &amp;

It is divided into two parts. In the first part of the module students will gain both an understanding of and hands-on practice with advanced geoprocessing and GIS modelling functions using both raster and vector data. We will use ESRI ArcGIS Spatial Analysis functions for analysis and modelling. In the second part of the course, we will introduce students to the fundamental principles of WebGIS. Students will gain practical experience using different web publishing technologies to visualise and display geographic data and modelling outcomes online.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        50 % participation in weekly GIS practicals<br>50 % project report including mapping output to a blog                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6a75befbe71d1\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                TOPIC Urban Ecology                <span class=\"accordion__data\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">ECTS credits:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            4                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">Course code:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            F3_ARCHIT-39                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-6a75befbe71d1\" class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-module-6a75befbe7100\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__body p-0\">\n            <ul class=\"list-highlighted\">\n                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course title:<\/span> TOPIC Urban Ecology<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Number of ECTS:<\/span> 4<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course code:<\/span> F3_ARCHIT-39<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Module(s):<\/span> Intermediate topics and methods for Geographical Analysis<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Language:<\/span> EN<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Mandatory:<\/span> No<\/li>\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n\n                <!--<li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">-->\n                <!--    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">-->\n                <!--        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>--><!--<\/strong><\/h5>-->\n                <!--    <\/header>-->\n                <!--    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">-->\n                <!--        <div class=\"speaker-group\">-->\n                <!--            -->                <!--        <\/div>-->\n                <!--    <\/div>-->\n                <!--<\/li>-->\n\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Scientific ecology is the study of the relationships of living organisms (human and non-human) with<br>each other and their physical \u2018milieu\u2019 (environment).

course is to give students an overview of the current urban and territorial developments in Europe as well as of the resulting urban policy responses with regard to the growing urbanisation and globalisation trends. A specific feature of this course is that it analyses these trends and their associated challenges and policy responses from three different perspectives, namely from an urban policy, a conceptual and an applied perspective. The aim of the first part of the course is to critically assess which concepts and theories are able to make sense of the trends and changes that can be witnessed in contemporary Europe. It starts at the European and regional level, with a focus on processes such as globalization, metropolisation and cross-border regionalisation. In response to the emergence of the city as unit of analysis, the attention turns to socio-economic developments at the urban scale, including suburbanization, gentrification and urban regeneration.The objective of the second part of this course is to complement these conceptual considerations with empirical evidence based on case studies and comparative analyses. To achieve this, a great variety of research and studies will be mobilized. The empirical examination of the trends and challenges of urbanization and metropolisation processes in Europe will notably rely on works conducted by ESPON, national planning agencies and European scholars.The third part of this course explores the rationalities behind European urban policies as well as their context, development paths, operating principles and effects from a critical perspective. Conceptualizing urban policy as being dynamic and malleable urges us to reconsider traditional understandings of and approaches to the role of European urban policies in economic and social development as well as the processes by which these policies develop and define themselves in practice.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n

  The aim of this course is to make students familiar with central concepts and approaches of urban planning, policy and governance, with a particular emphasis placed on the origins, rationale and elements of physical planning. Physical planning is key to the urban process, by determining land use, providing infrastructure and circulation, and by situating facilities in a way that it might support an efficient overall development of places. For this purpose, particular planning instruments have been developed and applied in much of the<br>industrialised<br>world, such as general land-use plans, particular building plans or more comprehensive, strategic framework plans. Informal instruments and procedures such as participatory planning also play a role.<br>On completion of the course, a student should be able to<br>:<br><ul><br>orientate in the general discussion of the rationale, justification and trajectories of urban planning,<br>make an informed judgement on the gap between contents and procedures of planning on the one hand and its effective outcomes on the other hand,<br>identify the various elements of i) physical planning and ii) the political process, i.e. activities addressed as forms of governance.<br><\/ul>                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>How do we define the object of planning? A plan can, on the one hand, be understood as an abstraction of reality (or of what one holds for it); on the other hand, plans always contain a normative objective: they are to demonstrate how a particular situation should look in the future. Accordingly, the process of planning includes different meanings. The object of planning is, first, the anticipation of the future, by foresight or scenario-building; second, as a rule, it is an intended change directed toward the present and the future; finally, realising plans implies to follow either a formal, law-binding or a \u201csoft\u201d, procedural standard. This inevitably results in the fact that planning always includes politics: that is, the decision-making process with a view to the private interest and the common good. This involves the elementary process of balancing (in German: \u2018Abw\u00e4gung\u2019) between concurring needs and interests, which is the core task of planning in principle.<\/p>The goals of urban and regional planning have in fact changed over time. Historically, planning sought to enable development as such, by the provision of infrastructures and by giving access to developable land. At the time of high-industrialisation that witnessed an exponential degree of urban growth, the aim was to avoid risk and to ensure the supply of vital necessities \u2013 that is, essentially functionality, by providing water supply and sanitation, fire protection, etc. In the post-WWII welfare states, this orientation has been complemented by the consideration of quality, e.g. by infrastructure planning, land use planning, environmental protection. Later on, the comprehensive and thus integrated satisfaction of economic, social and ecological needs of today&#8217;s generations has evolved as an objective. This objective has recently been supplemented by taking care of the presumed needs of future generations, by pursuing long-term strategies of sustainable development and decarbonisation.However, the rationale of planning to steer development (and the related belief of planners to master that) has been challenged by a variety of events, both originating from changes within the planning system and, even more so, of the world outside. The great challenge for spatial planning in modern societies is to master complexity and to become entrenched in the system of politics. The problem of complexity arises from a vertical perspective, that is, there are different, and sometimes competing, spheres of interests and validity prerogatives at a global, national, regional and local scales that claim power and responsibility for themselves. On the other hand, there is complexity in a horizontal sense, with regard to the sectoral dynamics, e.g. in the case of housing, transport, open space, commercial, infrastructure etc. (sectoral vs. overall planning), but also as concerns the different and often concurring logics after which spatial units (such as neighbouring municipalities) function. There are obvious limits to the implementation of plans or the &#8220;integration&#8221; of these various fields. Finally, a kind of inertia of the political is to be taken into account, reflecting competing (normative, financial, symbolic) goals, interests, and power relations of actors and institutions. These add to the system of decision-making, involving households and enterprises as well as the public and the media.This is the topical background of the course. It is divided into two sections: The first part of the course is devoted to giving an overview of the more recent historical development of urban and regional planning, admittedly mostly confined to developments in the Western world The respective time span starts by and large at the peak of industrialisation (late 19th and early 20th century, between 1870 and 1910), leading to recovery planning after World War II, then emphasising the competing ideal types of planning since the 1950s\/60s: modernist vs. traditional planning, compact vs. dispersed development. Today\u2019s master planning of urban expansion, large-scale infrastructure projects or eco-city communities will give most recent insight into the world of planning, yet will also be critically interrogated. Also, the idea of \u2018governance\u2019 will be introduced. Having emerged from political science discourses, it includes processes of decision making that are essentially multi-level in their scales and include a broad variety of actors. The practice of work will comprise a set of introductory classes given by the instructors, accompanied by joint discussions. Based on home readings, course participants will be able to discuss the essentials of their readings in the course.In the second part of the course, participants will have the opportunity to select and work on case studies of spatial plans \/ one spatial plan \u2013 these being designed for developing a building, a \u2018project\u2019, an urban district, selected parts of infrastructure or concerning the future of an entire territory. The aim of this exercise is to reconstruct the plans\u2019 contents, justification and implementation, leading to a critical assessment of the plans\u2019 outcomes and thus of urban planning more widely. The case studies will particularly reflect implementation and thus reassert steering processes in the context of \u2018governance\u2019. With this term, we signify the multi-level, cross-sectoral interaction of various public and private agents designated to achieve political or economic goals. Updates on the students\u2019 case-study work will be presented and discussed in the classroom on a regular basis. Outcomes of the groups\u2019 works will be presented and reviewed in the final sessions in the two last weeks. A final document that includes each group\u2019s plan evaluation \u2013 and also individual contributions to it \u2013 will have to be delivered as the course-assignment paper.<p>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul><br>20 % individual course presentation;<br>40% group presentation participation;<br>40 % assignment paper writing (chapter contribution to group report)<br><\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        \u00a0<br>Required readings, general:<br><ul><br>Allmendinger, Philipp Graham Houghton (2009): Commentary: Critical reflections on spatial planning.

anthropocene\u201d is an optional course in two programmes: the Master in Geography and Spatial Planning and in the Certificate in Sustainable Development and Social Innovation. It is part of the common Introductory module \u201cEuropean Territorial Trends and Policies\u201d in the Master of Geography and Spatial Planning and it counts as auxiliary course towards the Certificate in Sustainable Development and Social Innovation.This course provides an overview on global environmental change and current accounts of the role of human activities in this. The nine sessions start with an introduction on sustainability science on current scientific descriptions of the functioning of the earth system and the role of the biosphere in stabilizing environmental conditions on earth. Subsequent sessions address sea level-rise, risks of flooding and land-use change with a focus on agriculture. Cross cutting themes that are also addressed in dedicated sessions include citizen science, challenges in the characterisation of complex dynamic social-ecological systems and interpretation and communication of scientific uncertainty. Recurring themes are the merits and pitfalls of current approaches to developing evidence-based policy and working with indicators for planning purposes, and the concluding session compares diverse approaches to anticipating future change, and provide a platform for critical discussion of the most relevant overarching EU and Luxembourg policies.                    <\/div>\n

<p><\/p><p>The major aim of this course is to provide and to critically discuss with the students concepts of spatial delineation and demarkation as a special aspect of Political Geography. The interest on bounding spaces increases with new nationalism on the one hand and European integration and globalization on the other. This course will especially focus on bordering, debordering and rebordering processes and bounding space in different scales as well as their spatial conflicts. National borders can be seen as barriers, filters or open contact spaces for people, trade goods and information. Barriers can be different political, fiscal etc systems or even physical barriers like the frontier between the two parts of Cyprus or the former Berlin wall. Filtering borders can e.g. define who can some inside and who will stay outside which is a form of demarcation (e.g. by visa). One example here is the fortress Europe with the FRONTEX program. Open contact spaces are e.g. illustrated within the Schengen area where cross-border cooperation is strengthened and cross-border contacts are possible on a daily basis (e.g. with shopping, working or meeting friends\u2019 activities). Borders can also change their function and character becoming more open or close. From a national perspective border regions are often peripheries, but by overcoming the national peripheral deficits new cross-border regions (debordering\/flexible geometries\/soft spaces) can develop. The course will discuss if these border regions can become laboratories of the European integration process. Transnational migrants can also build up new integration areas beyond national borders and can <\/p><p>These topics will be illustrated mainly with case study examples on global, European and regional scales. The course will be structured with parts of guided reading, discussions and case studies (\u201cyour borders\u201d) \u2013 analysed and presented by student groups<\/p><p><\/p>

the key concept theories and formalization in urban and environmental economics in order to provide a framework to understand the intricate relationships between urban development and environmental issues.<ul>The first part of the course reviews the standard concepts of microeconomics that explain the consumption choices of households.The second part of the course introduces space and residential choice in the analysis, providing the key concepts of urban economics. Emphasis is put on how the environment may enter this framework, either as a consequence of residential location choice or as a component of this choice.The third part of the course introduces the key concepts of environmental economics to provide an understanding of the design of environmental policy instruments, in particular in an urban development context. It defines the concepts of social cost and externalities, and provides an overview of the public policy instruments that may be implemented to manage an environmental issue, with illustrations from several case-studies.<\/ul>Part two and three are complemented by practical works in order to deepen the understanding and linkages of the key concepts and their underlying assumptions and components.

currently observe a convergence between spatial planning policies (in the mere technical sense of land use organization and infrastructure coordination) and more comprehensive approaches to regional development, increasingly taking into account sustainability imperatives. This module seeks to make the students familiar with key approaches to sustainable regional development, both in its analytical and normative sense. Theoretical approaches from economic geography, regional studies and spatial planning will be introduced and provide the conceptual framework for the students project in Module 24-33. A particular focus will be laid on socio-ecological aspects and the institutional co-evolution and the interplay of businesses, governmental and non-governmental actors, and their role in the so-called sustainability transitions.The course includes the following subparts:<ul>Overview of analytical and normative approaches to sustainable regional development.Conceptual insights (via guided reading and in-class discussions) into selected approaches.Desktop research on illustrative case studies.<\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n

the theoretical mechanisms and formalizing the main principles underlying the location of human and economic activities in urban and regional settings and the subsequent spatial organization of flows (mobility patterns). It emphasizes how transport costs and mobility interact with the individual decisions of firms and households to settle somewhere and vice-versa, in other words stressing the interaction between land use (location) and transport decisions. The course takes a modelling perspective in order to formally address the theoretical mechanisms at stake and relate them to operational tools developed in geography and transport research and used in land use and transport planning.<ul>The first part of the course review\u2019s location theory and models where transport costs are treated explicitly.The second part is dedicated to gravity and spatial interactions concepts and models, emphasizing how they can be used in practice for choosing the location of commercial or service activities, the prediction of mobility flows between places, or to question the effects of distance and borders. The third part elaborates on spatial interaction concepts and discrete choice theory to formalize the four steps model as used in transport planning and provide an overview of aggregate and disaggregate land use and transport interaction models (from Lowry to microsimulation models such as Urbanism). The fourth part is an introduction to optimization techniques starting from the so-called transport problem, then demonstrating the principles of optimal location-allocation models applied to placing public services and infrastructures in space.<\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        100 % written exam                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section\n    id=\"tabpanel-6294d75c-c610-4c5c-a097-986ed48d98bf\"\n    aria-labelledby=\"tab-6294d75c-c610-4c5c-a097-986ed48d98bf\"\n    class=\"tab-panel fade hidden is-hidden\"\n>\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-course-offer\">\n    <h3>Course offer for Semestre 4 (2025-2026 Summer)<\/h3>\n    \n<div id=\"accordion-module-6a75befc03290\" class=\"accordion accordion--theme\">\n            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6a75befc032cd\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                29-83 Master Thesis Workshops                <span class=\"accordion__data\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">ECTS credits:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            3                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">Course code:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            MAGEO-33                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-6a75befc032cd\" class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-module-6a75befc03290\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__body p-0\">\n            <ul class=\"list-highlighted\">\n                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course title:<\/span> 29-83 Master Thesis Workshops<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Number of ECTS:<\/span> 3<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course code:<\/span> MAGEO-33<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Module(s):<\/span> Module 83 &#8211;

The seminar is organised as a set of 3 or 4 workshops in the second half of the 4th semester. Every student presents the progress of his\/her master thesis and can exchange on thematic, conceptual and methodological issues and share empirical findings.<br>The workshop is a complement to the individual guidance that every student receives from his\u00a0 or her supervisor(s).<br>Students are expected to show progress in the conception and methodology of their research and show capacity to account for suggestions and remarks across the set of seminars. They are also expected to contribute actively to the discussion related to the thesis of the other students. Participation to the workshop is compulsory and presence should be arrange in all cases, including prolonged internship.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <br>100% participation<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6a75befc032f3\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                30-90 &#8211; Master Thesis                <span class=\"accordion__data\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">ECTS credits:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            27                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">Course code:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            MAGEO-34                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-6a75befc032f3\" class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-module-6a75befc03290\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__body p-0\">\n            <ul class=\"list-highlighted\">\n                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course title:<\/span> 30-90 &#8211; Master Thesis<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Number of ECTS:<\/span> 27<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course code:<\/span> MAGEO-34<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Module(s):<\/span> Module 90 &#8211; Master Thesis <\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Language:<\/span> EN<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Mandatory:<\/span> Yes<\/li>\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n\n                <!--<li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">-->\n                <!--    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">-->\n                <!--        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>--><!--<\/strong><\/h5>-->\n                <!--    <\/header>-->\n                <!--    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">-->\n                <!--        <div class=\"speaker-group\">-->\n                <!--            -->                <!--        <\/div>-->\n                <!--    <\/div>-->\n                <!--<\/li>-->\n\n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Objectives<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\n                            Aims and objectives<br>With the Master\u2019s dissertation to be prepared at the end of this study programme, students shall<br>prove their ability to independently and scientifically work on a research topic in the realm of<br>geography and spatial planning and related fields. This task allows the candidates to appropriately<br>apply conceptual approaches, theoretical models and methodological tools acquired over the<br>preceding semesters.<br>The Master thesis is the major part of the fourth semester and counts for 27 ECTS. It can either<br>&#8211; be linked with an internship within a research or non-research institution abroad or in Luxembourg,<br>thus helping the students to step in the professional market<br>&#8211; or constitute a stand-alone research linked to research interests and projects of the Institute of<br>Geography and Spatial Planning.<br>In the case students opt for an internship, an agreement need to be signed between the students,<br>the 8xav福利导航 and the host institution (see internship agreement form). Internships are usually<br>undertaken between the end of January and the end of April during the 4<br>th<br>semester. Internship<br>dates must be chosen so that participation to exams is not problematic.<br>Moreover participation to the Master Thesis Workshops in May and June (3 ECTS) is compulsory.<br>During these workshops students will have opportunity to present the progress of their research to<br>the other students and staff.                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        See Master&#8217;s thesis guidelines                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Formal requirements The Master\u2019s dissertation has to be written in one of the 8xav福利导航\u2019s official languages English, French or German.
