Urban Design: Design Guidance, Incentive and Control (BPLN0057)

This module provides participants with an insight into the purpose, scope, means and effectiveness of ‘indirect’ urban design processes, namely those operated through public policy and guidance and related processes of incentive and regulation. The major learning tool is a single integrated small group project based around live planning issues in London accompanied by a series of supporting lectures.

The project has students working in groups of about five students. Each group works on a different planning document for a particular area of London. These documents range in scale from largely strategic Planning Frameworks for Opportunity Areas designated in the London Plan, through plans for London Plan designated Intensification Areas, to generally smaller scale and more detailed local community produced Neighbourhood Plans.

In the first five week stage the groups work on their area looking at it through eyes of those who have produced the existing plans for the areas and examining critically the outcomes they sought, the approaches and tools they are using to secure these outcomes and, finally, the likelihood to these proving successful.

In the second five week stage they use their understanding of the area and of potential approaches and tools to suggest the outcomes they would seek in planning the area – the approaches and tools they would use and why they think those they have selected will be successful.

With the module being almost wholly based on group working, reflecting on and learning from the experience of group working itself is one of the learning outcomes from the module. The reports at the end of each stage include group reflections on how the group has worked.
