Context
In the urban reality of the 21st century, planning is increasingly understood as a dynamic development process in which normative objectives are replaced by strategic models for the design of competitive and sustainable urban structures. Thereby, a rapid dynamic between planned and unplanned phenomena can be observed, which are characterized by social and economic structural change, by deregulation as well as increasingly heterogeneous social milieus.
Focus
In the area of tension between planned and unplanned developments, the module "Development Control" deals with current and future challenges of urbanization processes on a global and local level. In addition to socio-demographic and economic developments as well as planning theory basics, the complex structures of agglomeration growth and the problems of shaping them are the main topics of discussion.
On the basis of project discussions, especially the processes of the emergence of urban developments and projects as well as the different interests of their actors are discussed. These contents are supported by a multidisciplinary composition of the lecturers.
4 Courses in the module
The 4 following courses of the module are coordinated in content and organization with the parallel running design "Retrofit Vienna 2021" and the excursion to development control / Vienna. Mutual participation is recommended, but not obligatory.
Module introduction: Wed 6 Oct 2021 at 09.00; Project room 5 / online.
Positive completion of the following 4 courses is required for positive completion of the module:
• Project Development - Means and Object of Development Control 260.695; 2,5 ECTS; VU
(Development control with projects), Dietmar Wiegand, Dora Hably, Yulia Kartysh
At least since the findings of chaos theory in the 1970s, the unpredictability of complex systems of cities and regions has been well known. Based on practical examples, the new methods and tools of urban development management based on systems theory and originating from management sciences will be explained and applied. The focus in WS 2021/22 is on special topics of housing (housing first, Wiener Hof, co-living and many more).
• Informal Urban Development 260.671; 2,5 ECTS; VU Andreas Hofer.
"The informal city: interpretations, processes, actors*."
Central topics of the course are the examination of informal urbanization processes in an international context as a counterpart to targeted top-down development control.
