After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain various methods and models common in settlement and transport planning. They can indicate the strengths and weaknesses as well as the permissible application areas of the methods and models. The students are then able to apply them, assess the validity of forecasts, and distinguish appropriate from inappropriate methods.

You can find the slides in this lecture's TUWEL page.

The lecture is entirely in English.
