It is necessary to have good knowledge of graphic expression.
The course aims to introduce the student to the design of public space and the calculation of urban services, so that the student is able to carry out basic urbanization projects.
It is taught in the same semester as the TP subject: Urban and Territorial Development, in which some of the knowledge acquired in the subject is used and, in addition, the necessary conceptual basis is provided to satisfactorily face the Final Degree Project when it is focuses on urban projects.
