There are no prerequisites
The objective of the module is to provide students with critical instruments to analyze contemporary urbanization processes, specifically for cities and metropolitan areas. The students will be offered the instruments to understand the city as a socio-spatial configuration resulting from the demographic, economic, environmental, cultural and political dynamics of contemporary societies. 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.

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.
