Thomas, A.R. (author), Novas, María (author)Historically, the work of white Western male architects has dominated architectural history education. In recent decades a large body of scholarship has attempted to critically question this, highlighting and subverting mainstream disciplinary values, which are informed by gendered, racial, classist, and colonial biases. This chapter explores...book chapter 2022

The process of identifying, interpreting, and implementing societal values in university education is an essential part of responsible innovation and designing for equitable, inclusive, and sustainable societies. While there is now a well-defined and growing body of research on the theory and application of designing for values (or ‘value...book 2022

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Kobus, C.B.A. (author)This chapter describes ‘Understanding Values’, a course that teaches<br/>aspiring designers who aim to design for values to disentangle how different<br/>notions of value and values influence the design process, the design outcome,<br/>and how the outcome is evaluated. The course strives to make abstract values<br/>more tangible by asking...book chapter 2022

Pesch, U. (author)TThis chapter presents the sociotechnical value map (STVM) as a method to<br/>map out values in a sociotechnical system. To identify these values, the publics<br/>that are or can be related to a given technology must be traced. The STVM<br/>combines elements from evolutionary theory of technology development and<br/>value sensitive design (VSD)....book chapter 2022

Rocco, Roberto (author)This chapter investigates why a focus on justice should be included in planning and design education. The central argument, based on the ideas of moral philosopher Alasdair McIntyre, is that justice is a 'internal and necessary good' for the successful practise of spatial planning, without which it is meaningless. It contends that spatial...book chapter 2022

van der Voordt, Theo (author)Architectural design may be defined as a synthesis of form, function, and technology, in a particular context, taking into account legal and financial preconditions. This book shows the need to also incorporate societal values. In the area of Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) and Facilities Management (FM), a growing awareness comes to the...book chapter 2022

Newton, C.E.L. (author)Space, people, and time are all intertwined in the city, a complex system in which planners intervene. Their strategic plans and neighbourhood designs impact the daily lives of city dwellers. This emphasises the point that spatial planning and urban design ar enot technical disciplines. The everyday use of space and its symbolic meanings must be...book chapter 2022

Qu, L. (author)This chapter introduces the pedagogical approach of guiding vision and strategy making in university design studios. This is a unique way of teaching spatial planning in design education, bridging research, planning, and design. It will use one of the master’s courses at the Urbanism Department of TU Delft as an example: the regional design...book chapter 2022

Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)The need to respond to increasing flood risk, climate change, and rapid urban development has shaped innovative policies and practices of spatial planning in many countries over recent decades. As an instrumental–technical intervention, planning is mainly used to improve the physical environment (through concepts such as regulating waterproof...book chapter 2022

Kleinhans, R.J. (author), Falco, Enzo (author)Over time, urban planning scholars have studied ways to improve communication and collaboration between ‘experts’ and the ‘public’ in planning processes. Social media and the web 2.0 have strongly affected governments’ communication with citizens. The growth of public participation, Geographic Information Systems and geo-visualisation interfaces...book chapter 2022

Stead, D. (author)This chapter outlines a conceptual model for understanding the range of policy tools which can be used in spatial planning. The classification of tools builds on the NATO model (nodality, authority, treasue, and organisation) proposed by Christopher Hood (1986) and differentiates between two separate functions of policy tools: substantive and...book chapter 2022

Hein, C.M. (author)Since its emergence in the 19th century, modern spatial planning has served as a tool to address public health issues, to organise infrastructure, or to structure cities and landscapes. Throughout this period, planning has been both praised and challenged by the different actors involved. Governments and corporations have historically used...book chapter 2022

Nefs, Merten (author)This chapter revisits the most significant international definitions of the metropolitan landscape. It shows methods of mapping and measuring the metropolitan landscape, most of them developed at TU Delft. Additionally, it discusses one of the tools that can be used to develop the metropolitan landscape and reflect on its qualities and...book chapter 2022

Bracken, G. (author)This chapter introduces the theories of urbanism courses offered at the Urbanism Department in the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft. Urbanism is a discipline which has a crucial impact on how humans interact with the built environment. Understanding its theories is important and will be increasingly so in the twenty...book chapter 2022

Sepulveda Carmona, D.A. (author)The governance of urban processes, in the face of the effects of variability and extremes of climate change, requires a complex approach, especially because of the inherent uncertainty and high infrastructure cost those solutions entails. The urgency of the responses and actions imposed by extreme weather events transfers additional complexity...book chapter 2022

Romein, A. (author), van Rijn, Susanne (author)In many graduation projects in Spatial Planning and Strategy (SP&S), empirical research and spatial design are intertwined. This chapter introduces regression analysis; a ’family’ of related models of quantitative statistical analysis in empirical research. It is very appropriate to study interactions between the built urban environment and...book chapter 2022

Zonneveld, W.A.M. (author)There is an abundant use of visualisation in spatial planning. This chapter is particularly concerned about planning on the regional level and beyond. On these higher levels of scales maps form the dominant visualisation mode. To fully comprehend and evaluate the content of these maps this chapter first discusses a set of theoretical concepts...book chapter 2022

Faludi, A.K.F. (author)This paper is about my path from studying Dutch to European planning. Looking at the latter made me identify a ‘territorialism’ that subdivides land into supposedly self-contained units as a basic organising principle. Where the EU is concerned, territorialism is problematic: relations, spatial or otherwise, between EU members states take the...book chapter 2022

Viseu Cardoso, Rodrigo (author)This chapter introduces the concept of metropolisation, a framework to describe and understand the dynamics of territories undergoing extensive urbanisation. Metropolisation is defined as the transformation of fragmented urbanised areas into coherent and consolidated urban regions through the effects of long-term and intertwined processes of...book chapter 2022
