Course descriptions:
There is growing awareness of the importance of urban or neighbourhood design issues and the concept of sustainable urban form has progressively moved up the policy agenda since the late 1990s. The planning system is an important interface between housing demand and house builders. The urban development has everything to do with urban economics. The urban economics can’t live without financial mathematics. The purpose of this course is to identify the relationships between Urban Planning system and Investments from public and private sectors. By understanding the process of applying interest rate factors to a cash flow diagram in order to determine some measure of worth that is then used to make decisions, the future planners could have a broader vision towards urban planning from financial perspective. It is important to acknowledge that in the urban planning decision making process, financial calculations are not fairly straightforward.
The course will be particularly useful for those who:
▪ Want to understand the financial aspect of urban/engineering economics.
▪ Want to understand decision making process and evaluation tools for it
▪ Want to improve their understanding of planning concepts through discussions in English
▪ Will engage in research at some point
The course is oriented around two parts and seven themes in each part. This course utilizes selected essays, excerpts, and theories to elucidate these themes. In addition, students will make comparisons between the issues as discussed in the readings, with those of Taiwan. The course will be conducted primarily in English.
