Roles and methods for landscape architecture in comprehensive planning

The course discusses and critiques values and processes which inform and impact on municipality planning. In light of uncertainty developed through climate and social change the course questions how sustainable development and citizen influence can help municipalities make better basis for decisions. The course draws on landscape, as formulated in the European Landscape Convention, as the lens for dealing with these questions, framed with in the multiple goals society, legislation etc. provide the framework. While the course will address a case based in a Swedish planning context, the issues that arise are set in and have relevance for European and global situations. Landscape planning theories and approaches are presented and discussed in lectures and seminars. The main assignment draws on the literature discussed in order to formulate a proposal for future interventions on the landscape of the municipality, communicated through a comprehensive plan.
