Sustainability in cities and regions has become a central element when trying to solve larger issues like mitigating global climate, enabling regional adaptation, and the preservation of natural systems and ecological function. Environmental and social processes have a broad scale, they just do not happen in a neighborhood, but they will find its causes and consequences in the region or the country they are surrounded by, or even the whole world. Therefore, a sustainable planning is achieved from the local to the meso, and to the global scales. The need for a comprehensive and systemic view of the region both for its analysis and for planning and management initiatives, justify, however, the design and the multi-perspective approach of the course.

Course learning outcomes
Description
Students incorporate sustainability criteria into urban and territorial plans.
Students can carry out studies in territorial planning, coastal environment, coastal planning and defence and environmental aspects related to infrastructure.
Students know the usual figures and forms of planning in other geographical contexts: EU, USA, Latin America.
Students understand the keys to sustainable urban management, from the point of view of infrastructure (networks), but also water, energy, waste, transport, economy, etc.
Additional outcomes
Description
More specifically, upon completion of the course students will: 1. Understand urban and regional plans, and the related environmental issues in Spain. 2. Become familiar with the specific shapes and forms of planning in other geographic settings: EU, US, Latin America¿ 3. Understand the keys to sustainable and ecological planning, and its management processes from the point of view of the infrastructure, water, energy, waste, transportation, economy, etc. 4. Examine the specific applications of different design paradigms on urban form, through domestic and international examples and case studies of urban projects. 5. Learn about the current situation of different planning issues: housing, public spaces, urban management, participatory planning, etc.
