Introduction

This module will provide you with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand the issues of
analysing and discussing international planning systems through a comparative perspective. It will
explore the definitions, conceptual concerns, and methodological problems of studying international
planning systems as well as the historical foundations of planning practice, including legal,
administrative and institutional frameworks. Through the use of case studies, the module will
explore the diverse means by which countries design and implement planning, from regulatory to
discretionary through to hybrid and informal practices. In doing so, the module will provide a critical
discussion and comparative analysis of international planning frameworks and their strengths in
responding to spatial planning challenges under different contexts.

The Aims are to:

  • To provide a grounded theoretical understanding of how the planning system and legal
    arrangements are shaped by the social, political, administrative and economic contexts.
  • To utilise a cross-national comparative perspective to develop critical thinking skills related
    to how planning policy and practice travel across different contexts.
  • To examine planning approaches and their underlying design concepts in selected countries
    drawn from Asia, the Americas and Europe covering the global south and north.
  • To develop the critical skills and logical reasoning to appraise different types of planning
    arrangements.
  • To develop a more informed understanding of how to assess and engage in spatial planning
    practice under different socio-economic and institutional contexts.

The Learning Outcomes are to:

  • Have an understanding of how planning systems are shaped by different spatial contexts,
    judicial-legal frameworks and socio-cultural traditions.
  • Familiarize with the principles, design and practice of planning systems in different
    countries.
  • Appreciate the value of cross-national learning regarding both its potential and limitations
    while respecting the diversity of culture, values and ideologies of planning.
  • Develop presentation and essay writing skills.
  • Develop the skills of comparative analysis, logical reasoning, and applied evaluation through
    the presentation, group discussions and the assignments.
