PLAN40060 Urban and Regional Development

Academic Year 2023/2024

In this module students explore the changing dynamics of urban development internationally. The implementation of growth management and development strategies is often proposed by national plans or guidelines and is a recurring theme in many areas experiencing rapid urbanisation internationally. The engagement of the development process is necessary in achieving positive development outcomes. This includes understanding:
- The nature of supply side responses, roles and relationships within the property development process;
- Public sector development and its requirements;
- Private sector development and its requirements; - Development appraisal and decision-making;
- Feasibility, profitability and input sensitivity analysis;
- Feasibility and decision-making in development case studies.
International policy initiatives relating to Public private partnerships and urban regeneration are examined critically with a focus on the evaluation of the outcomes of such interventions.
