Course description
The course offers an in-depth examination of trends, problems and planning strategies of urban development in an international context (Europe, Asia, USA, Latin America, Australia).
Students are actively involved in comparative analyses of urban development planning. Guest lectures by foreign planning practitioners or academics on current issues are included.
In the exercise part of the course, students work in groups to produce a poster on various factors of urban shrinkage in an international context.
The discussion and critical scrutiny of planning processes at an urban level are an essential component of the course.
Previous knowledge beyond the teaching materials is not required.
Materials
- A website will be set up for the course.
- Additional teaching material will be handed out in class.

Course description
The aim of this innovative seminar course is to provide students with scientific methodological skills for a structured international comparison of spatial planning processes. Best practices of comparative planning and comparative research designs (including EU projects) are presented and discussed. Using selected examples of spatial planning and development, students will learn to typify planning and select suitable indicators. Among other things, they will practise planning culture and situation-specific action and learn about the possibilities and limitations of knowledge transfer in planning. This course is closely linked to current IPS projects.
In the winter semester 2017/2018, the project 'Planshrinking - a comparison of shrinking cities in the USA and Germany' will be examined in depth.
Materials
- A website will be set up for the course (OLAT).
Additional teaching material will be handed out in class.
Participation
Participation in the seminar is a prerequisite for the performance record. Preparation for the topics is an important part of the course.

Course description
The lecture deals with cross-border cooperation between cities, regions and states in Europe and beyond. The focus is on presenting the development and current status of policies, concepts, strategies and trends in cross-border cooperation between different countries. In addition, examples will be used to highlight the interactions with national spatial planning in various countries. The event will be held in close coordination with selected projects and topics of the 'Border Futures' working group of the Academy for Spatial Research and Planning, which is headed by Prof. Pallagst.

Course description
The compulsory module in the Master's in Urban and Regional Development can be chosen as an elective subject in the other Master's degree programs. It deals with current planning issues at an international level. Students get to know a specific region as part of an excursion and, following a structural analysis, have to solve specific planning tasks and problems as part of a planning game. The aim of the module is to develop a project for the region based on the problems that have arisen in the course of the module.
The module ends with a final presentation.
Materials
- A website will be set up for the course (OLAT).
- Additional teaching material will be handed out in class.
Seminar on planning culture and sustainability again as part of the KLOOC
Winter and Summer Semester
Time
Kick-off event at the beginning of the semester, location: Building 1 - Room U34
Please refer to the KIS for exact dates.
Otherwise online participation in the interdisciplinary Kaiserslautern Open Online Course (KLOOC) on the topic of “Sustainability” (duration 9 weeks)
Contact
Prof. Dr. Karina Pallagst
Course description
The event Planning Cultures and Sustainability takes place as part of the Kaiserslautern Open Online Course (KLOOC) on the topic of “Sustainability”. The KLOOC Sustainability is an innovative and interdisciplinary teaching project carried out by several TUKL departments.
The topic of “sustainable development” is researched, treated and promoted in various disciplines at TU Kaiserslautern. In order to make this tangible and visible, an open online course on sustainability will be offered at the TU in the summer semester of 2018. The course lasts 9 weeks and can be completed entirely online. For participants in the Master's degree programs of the Department of Spatial and Environmental Planning, the KLOOC replaces the course “Planning Cultures and Sustainability”, which is integrated into the KLOOC.
Each week, the topic of sustainability is examined from a different specialist perspective by TU lecturers and presented in an innovative online format. Participants can thus engage interactively and interdisciplinarily with the topic of sustainability in their personal (learning) environment.
The course is part of the module “International Urban Development and Planning Cultures”.
Materials
- A website will be set up for the course.
Additional teaching material is available via the KLOOC platform
Prerequisites
Participation in all thematic blocks of the KLOOC is a prerequisite for the certificate of achievement. Intensive preparation for the topics is an important part of the course to ensure that all students participate in KLOOC. This includes reading the materials, participating in smaller exercises and communicating via the KLOOC internet platform.
Evaluation
The certificate of achievement is obtained by written examination (module examination together with the subject International Urban Development in summer semester 2018).
The exercises are not assessed.
Language
Mainly German; selected teaching materials in English.
Type
English lecture with exercise as part of the compulsory elective module International Planning Systems

Course description
The range of topics of this seminar is oriented towards current planning topics in an international context and will include urban shrinkage, inner city development, participatory planning or suburbanization processes in international comparison.
Students will have the opportunity to work with foreign cooperation partners (academia and practice), e.g. in the form of video conferences, excursions (not compulsory!) etc. Under the guidance of Prof. Pallagst, students are enabled to carry out research-based learning. Selected project examples serve as input to enable students to carry out their own scientific work. work. Insights into the practice of spatial planning expert culture are provided through video documentation on public participation and a video conference with planning stakeholders in the USA. Particular emphasis is placed on not presenting students with prefabricated solutions, but rather allowing them to engage in their own analytical reflection as part of the learning process in the sense of an open process.
Materials
- A website will be set up for the course (OLAT).
Additional teaching material will be handed out in class.

Course description
Students from the partner universities of the University of the Greater Region (France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany) will take part in the seminar. In internationally mixed groups, projects will be developed, presented and discussed on the basis of specific questions. The aim of the planning game is to initiate learning processes and to sensitize students to planning in cross-border areas, as well as to explore existing differences in the understanding of spatial planning and its underlying paradigms between countries and regions. It is also an opportunity to improve your English language skills, especially with regard to discussion and presentation.
Spatial planning students from the 4th Bachelor's semester and Master's students can participate.
