Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper aims to provide you with an understanding of the key ideas which have shaped our view of planning, cities, and the environment.

You will be encouraged to develop a critical awareness of the power of ideas and of the ways in which these continue to influence and determine real world outcomes - often in hidden ways. It is less about remembering 'facts' and more about appreciating arguments, ideology, politics, justice, and being exposed to differing ideas and worldviews.

Theories are useful as they allows you to understand why we do things, what the flaws might be, and will allow you to strengthen your argument against opponents. It will also help shape YOUR professional identify - what do you believe in, why, and what should we do?
