PLANNING ANALYTICS AND MODELLING

About this Course

Course Description

This course deals with the quantitative elements in urban planning. It strives to train students to think analytically when dealing with urban planning problems and issues. Various modelling techniques employed in planning will be taught to students and exercises to improve their understanding of the concepts and techniques. The major topics include estimating needs and demand for land use, infrastructure and facilities, understanding economic conditions and making decisions for effective land use planning and management of urban phenomena.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Associate numeracy skills in evaluating data sets to solve the issues encountered in the urban phenomena ( C4 )
2 ) Appraise applied models and techniques with adequate understanding of underlying urban science ( C4 )
