The Challenge

Integrated planning approaches for analysing and planning the urban space are not only useful but prerequisite for tackling the contemporary challenges of climate change while creating functional, human-oriented, as well as aesthetically pleasing and inclusive places.

​

However, most planning courses are usually monothematic, focusing on specific attributes of each field. For instance, urban planning is taught differently and separately from transport planning, while participatory planning and evidence-based planning approaches, are often entirely neglected from the curriculum of planning related schools. Therefore, the limited presence of these four complementary approaches under a collaborative, intercultural educational structure is the main challenge that InPlanEd aims to address.
