Learning Outcomes of UE

Transmit the necessary principles and tools to future designers likely to promote a sustainable development of territories, respectful not only of the environment but also of the landscape, quality of life and energy consumption.
At the end of this course, the student will be able to :
- Understand the issues related to the resources scarcity, pollution, the erosion of biodiversity and environmental risks.
- Know the spatial scope of these different themes and know where to look for the spatial data necessary to take them into account in the development of a given project.
- Apply the principles and tools necessary to promote sustainable urban development.
- understand the differences between the different strategic environmental assessments.
- Understand how impacts on different environmental issues can be measured, calculated, and understood, and how to quantify or qualify them if quantification is difficult.
 

Content of UE

The first module focuses on a more in-depth introduction to environmental issues, the spatial tools available, and how to take them into account in concrete examples of landscape and urban planning.
The second module will focus on strategic environmental assessments, impact studies and notices in order to answer the question: How to measure the environmental impacts of the implementation of new activities and infrastructures in projects? This will be an opportunity to see how to take into account the impacts on the environmental issues discussed in the first module.
The third module presents the different planning policies and, with the help of an example, how to take the environment into account in the municipal planning tool (SDC). It is therefore a question of understanding how to integrate environmental objectives into land-use planning policies in order to answer the following questions: how to reduce pollution and the greenhouse effect, preserve biodiversity, etc. through the management of soil, water, waste and biodiversity? With what design approaches and technical devices? How to integrate these concerns through an approach that takes into account the temporalities of territorial development? How to anticipate them in the perspective of the elaboration of a development plan?

Prior Experience

Not applicable

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and/or works

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The group presentation grade will be based on the analysis of an environmental issue that has been the subject of exercises throughout the course.
The individual presentation rating will be given to the student's presentation of a specific design to address the environmental issue raised.
The evaluation criteria for the exercise that will be used are: critical thinking developed in the analysis, understanding of the specificities of the chosen site, analytical and synthetic thinking in the presentation.
 

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Oral examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The evaluation criteria for the exercise that will be used are: critical thinking developed in the analysis, understanding of the specificities of the chosen site, analytical and synthetic thinking in the presentation.
