Urban Planning Process University of Technology Sydney - Direct Enroll Program Spring 2023 Semester - Sydney

This subject focuses on the nature and necessity for urban planning. It analyses the role of planning policy in the regulation of the land-development process and examines the resulting built outcomes. Students discuss the contemporary structure of the NSW planning system, enabling an understanding of the plan-making process and the power relations between the State, local consent authorities, the community and agents of development. A key aim is to allow students to recognise the application of sound planning and design practice to the fields of residential and commercial development through project-based learning.
