Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Those knowledges have three main purposes:

- to prepare students to intervene in the fields of territorial developments and spatial planning (local developments interventions, urban planning interventions, management of European projects...);
- to identify the territorial consequences of territorial and land-use policies.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills
