Course Content (Syllabus)
The course is based upon the critical reas-sessment of already implemented urban pro-jects in Europe. The selected projects are relatively recent (after 2000) and aim to pro-mote sustainable urban development. Student work resembles a process of reverse engineer-ing and is divided into two 6-week stages as follows:
A. Collection of information on the decision making process, the design process and the implementation process (e.g. assignment, finance, mandate, etc.). Analysis of the tech-nical aspects of the above processes, including documentation, auditing, strategic decision-making, comparison of alternatives, etc.
B. Critical redesigning of the project after the evaluation of alternative solutions, especially in areas where the projects have failed or diverge from the initial objective to promote sustainable urban living. The final proposal is reevaluated in relation to its positive and negative consequences that may emerge dur-ing its implementation.
The course includes the viewing of video lec-tures by urban experts and extensive discus-sions on both general issues and specific pro-jects as well as invited lectures by Georgia Gemenetzi, Dr Architect-Planner, Athena Yian-nakou, Assoc. Professor, Dep. of Spatial Plan-ning and Development AUT, Magda Pitsiava, Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, AUT, and Anastasia Tasopoulou, Dr Spatial Planner.
