This compulsory module is part of the master's core teachings along with the Territorial Planning and Geographic information systems, planning and landscape modules and in coordination with the Advanced Themes module. The aim of the core teachings is to provide students with conceptual and practical skills for the design and writing of territorial planning instruments. To do this, a practical exercise will be carried out, consisting in recognizing and identifying the urban, social and environmental characteristics of certain public spaces and the preparation of proposals for the management of these spaces.

VERY IMPORTANT: Total or partial plagiary of any of the exercises will automatically be considered “fail” (0) for the plagiarized item. Plagiary is copying one or more sentences from unidentified sources, presenting it as original work (THIS INCLUDES COPYING PHRASES OR FRAGMENTS FROM THE INTERNET AND ADDING THEM WITHOUT MODIFICATION TO A TEXT WHICH IS PRESENTED AS ORIGINAL). Plagiarism is a serious offense. Students must learn to respect the intellectual property of others, identifying any source they may use, and take responsibility for the originality and authenticity of the texts they produce.
In the event that assessment activities cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
