Urban planning, also known as regional planning, town planning, city planning, or rural planning, is a technical and political process that is focused on the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks and their accessibility. Traditionally, urban planning followed a top-down approach in master planning the physical layout of human settlements. The primary concern was the public welfare, which included considerations of efficiency, sanitation, protection and use of the environment, as well as effects of the master plans on the social and economic activities. Over time, urban planning has adopted a focus on the social and environmental bottom-lines that focus on planning as a tool to improve the health and well-being of people while maintaining sustainability standards. Sustainable development was added as one of the main goals of all planning endeavors in the late 20th century when the detrimental economic and the environmental impacts of the previous models of planning had become apparent. Similarly, in the early 21st century, Jane Jacob's writings on legal and political perspectives to emphasize the interests of residents, businesses and communities effectively influenced urban planners to take into broader consideration of resident experiences and needs while planning.

Thank you Mr. Feras for this course, the content was outstanding and impressive however I felt like you overstretched some chapters while still speaking about basic knowledge.

No me gustan los cursos con mal audio. Hay contenidos interesantes, pero a la vez descubro que el curso está totalmente basado en un curso de alguien más (EPFL, Smart Cities - Management of Smart Infrastructures). Si bien da crédito, lo que uno no se espera es que el curso sea tan parecido, incluyendo láminas y diagramas.

Great information, however, the instructor needs to be more calm and appear more relaxed, and should speak at a slower speed, so that students can better understand the information.

The course is very basic. Need little more detailed with important dimensions. Just reading of PPT is not showing the true idea of course.
