| For 16 years, the Sporck Chair, created through the Sporck Foundation, allows to invite a foreign renowned colleague in order to ensure students of Master in Geographical Sciences a teaching about a non-treated field at the ULg. This year, the holder of this chair is Prof. Antonio da Cunha (Faculté des Géosciences et de l'Environnement), University of Lausanne
The course will focus on Urban sustainability, planning and project: theoretical enquiries, controversial topics and practice
Open discussion on this course copes with a triple challenge: firstly, we will describe and understand the process of urban fabrication and its long run changes in order to better figure out the original features of the urban regime recent mutations. Secondly, we will explore main economic, social and environmental challenges regarding these mutations so as to provide a creative way out towards a different model of urban development. Urban spaces have recently unfolded to weaken bonds between humans, cities and the environment. Sustainable planning aims to think over this bond in a creative manner. Thirdly, we will present major guidelines and topics in sustainable urban planning that furnish intellectual nourishment on the necessary transition towards more ecological, fair and liveable cities.
