“Planning for Liveable Cities” critically addresses inequalities within urban areas by analysing concerns about social equity, quality of life, health and well-being and urban competitiveness in light of urban development patterns and strategies. Tensions and trends in planning for these visions and ideals is discussed. Different tools are introduced and applied to analyse these patterns. Students will engage with various scales of analysis, applying geospatial solutions to develop people-centric and digitally-informed strategies that support the transition towards more equitable, healthy, and just urban futures. By capturing and understanding diverse forms of knowledge related to intra-urban variations in quality of life, the curriculum aims to create a deeper understanding of these patterns. This is crucial for targeting deprived areas and formulating effective area-based and people-based policies.
