Outline:

This course will be taught by an instructor who is a member of a private think tank and was in charge of urban and regional planning and economic analysis. It will explain the concept and outline of urban planning methods, and also cover matters that are becoming important in urban and regional space planning and development in recent years. In addition, there will be lectures on the concepts and methods for dealing with these matters in a systematic manner.

Style:

Lectures will be based on textbooks and handouts.
The overall evaluation will be based 60% on periodic exams, 30% on presentations and group discussions, 10% on attitude toward class activities such as Q&A sessions. The minimum score for a pass will be 60%.

Notice:

This course's content will amount to 90 hours in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Before attending the lectures, carefully read the materials distributed in advance and fully understand the content.　Taking advantage of a small class size, lessons will focus on dialogs and have students present the planning methods and case examples that are in the distributed handouts and reference books in turn.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
