Lecture Week 08: Spatial Sociology
Präsenzwoche 08: Räumliche Soziologie
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:08:28
Abstract
Spatial Planning is strongly linked with social processes. Thus, planning measures have impacts on the people, and changes in society influence planning processes. Concepts such as urbanisation, gentrification, segregation and density are discussed in the course. Instruments related to practice such as participation and ethnography are presented.
Objective
Aim of the course is to present the most important interrelations between society and spatial planning and spatial development. The main focus is on a better understanding of topics, pro-cedures and methods in social sciences. The course presents new approaches to urban quality, working with statistics and interviews, as well as the ethnographic exploration of neighbor-hoods. Finally, it highlights the variety and the possibilities of the collaboration with the popu-lation in planning processes - the participation process - and to make it useful for practice.
