After successful completion of the course, students are able to systematically explain concrete projects and concepts at the district level and the planning processes and instruments behind them, and to analyse and evaluate them in terms of their foundations, values and planning strategies.

The development of the city stands in the field of tension between social, professional and ideological values and premises. Knowledge of the political, social and cultural context of the respective time is therefore indispensable if one wants to read and understand the built reality of the city and the different strategies and projects.

Analysing projects and processes, developing, reflecting on and discussing value standards, taking a stance - all this is the subject of the debates and discussions in this module. The students deepen their communicative and social skills and sharpen their view for creative and innovative spatial planning solutions and strategies.

This semester, the focus is on the Viennese district level and on the different instruments of qualification procedures.
