The course is not designed to provide answers to all questions about cities, the urbanisation process and spatial planning. Instead, students are expected to understand the complexity of spatial issues covering different scales. It is also intended that students reach to a level of curiosity and critical thinking for further researches, and establish a sense of responsibility towards the urbanisation process and planning practices in Turkey and abroad. As part of their personal assets, the course also targets the improvement of students’ creativity, rhetoric and discussion abilities through in-class discussions and different sorts of assignments.
