Learning and Teaching Methods (including their alignment with learning outcomes)The module is taught thematically with each lecture providing an oportunity for the student to learn about key issues underlying the development of modern city planning. The lectures begin by setting out the origins of the subject and then move on to the generics of the aesthetics, architecure, design and layout standards undepinning the application of such measures in the development of modern city planning. Each lecture is supported with case study material drawn from the experiences of modern city planning under the city beautiful and garden city movement in the capitals of Europe and North America. The tutorials are used to reflect on these applications and the standards of architectural design they have laid out for the development of modern city planning.Embedding of Employability/PDP/ Scholarship SkillsThe essay shall assess the standards of communication, nous/commonsense and creativity demonstrated in answering the question(s) set.
