The primary aim is for students to acquire a working knowledge and skills for planning and development using techniques of Master Planning. This is an increasingly common technique in planning practice as government and the development industry strive to create more liveable and sustainable communities. The course introduces students to the theory, processes, techniques, and politics of master plans. The focus is more than physical and other aspects covered include social capital, economic appraisal and due diligence. Students workshop the development of a Master Plan for a real world development site. As the third in a series of integrative planning projects, the course enables students to synthesise knowledge and skills acquired in other courses.
