Description

Strategic planning is a dynamic, analytical, and interdisciplinary process. It can encompass comprehensive area planning, targeted problem solving, and non-physical planning scenarios. A major characteristic is the synthesis of diverse information sources and community opinions into communicable planning documents. This course provides instruction in the theory and practice of strategic planning as an integrative activity. It adopts an applied focus in considering a typical multifaceted planning issue. Examples include environmental, town centre, open space, transportation, employment zone, redevelopment, heritage or general locality studies which typically underpin local environmental planning actions. The emphasis is on individual and team research, analysis, report production, and presentation, with a significant fieldwork component. The course explicitly builds on the skills and knowledge which students have gained in other courses and is the second in sequence of three major courses in integrated learning and skills development.
