Summary
Sustainability, complex land use and awareness of spatial quality
are keywords for spatial planning on all levels. Therefore, sustainable
spatial development is essential for the coming decades. Changes in
climate, modes of transportation, demographics and the economic
situation are important challenges for all spatially relevant actors.
Land and its many uses is more than the bedrock of our country, it
is the foundation for our wellbeing, prosperity and national identity.
The pervasive effects of changes in land use and land management
emphasise the need for developing effective future policies and
strategies. Higher Education in Spatial Planning (HESP) must attract
young and enthusiastic people and prepare them for solving complex
problems related to this most important and limited resource.
Problem-oriented project, respectively, studio-based learning should
be the core element of explorative learning.
In a trilogy of symposia, a group of international experts in the field
of education and practice of spatial planning discussed important
aspects of higher education in spatial planning. This publication presents
the results in the form of joint positions and the more personal
reflections.
