Suggestions for Thesis Subjects
conflict in urban development and planning
The Chair of Planning Theory and Urban-Regional Policy Analysis encourages proposals for BA and MA theses on ‘conflicts in urban development and planning’ focussing on the analysis of controversies and conflicts over issues such as:
- the material and symbolic appropriation of urban spaces
- the nature and processes of decision-making in urban development
- the content and features of urban development plans, initiatives and events
- the understandings of the public and of public interest in urban policy
based on qualitative and interpretive approaches to policy analysis, protest and social mobilization research, and urban socio-spatial analysis.
Help in the process of defining the topic of the thesis is provided by the chair.
