  10. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Sustainable Development • Space as a major resource • Scale: from building component to urban region • Globalization + Localization • Theory + Practice • Studio-based Learning • Policies, programs, projects • International Cooperation-in-Development

  11. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Sustainable Development Sustainability concepts to orient educational objectives and approaches. Search for sustainable development as a task and commitment in everyday practice in architecture, urban design and physical planning.

  12. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Space as a major resource Sustainable development emphasizes equilibrium between economic, socio-cultural and ecological aspects but all this in a specific SPATIAL context. Translating spatial qualities into land- and water-scapes, built-forms and networks.

  13. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Scale: from building component to urban region Although all scale levels remain important, a shift of emphasis has taken place to better address issues on a larger scale level (e.g. neighbourhoods, urban section, cities, landscapes, riverfronts, etc.) Accents on neglected or contested sites and territories.

  14. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Globalization + Localization ‘Think globally, act locally’ Striking a good balance between global dynamics (economy, communication, multiculturalism, global cities, etc.) and locally specific actions (context-specific, localising, enhancing local capacities). Exploring the uniqueness of the ‘locus’.

  15. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Theory + Practice Based in a faculty of APPLIED sciences, the equilibrium between theory and practice is crucial. “Learning-from-reality” has been a strong tradition in PGCHS. Fieldwork and project applications are an essential component of research. Yet reflection and elaboration of theoretical frameworks strengthen synthesis and analysis.

  16. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Studio-based Learning Studio-based learning is increasing important but is also linked to the research/project sites in which PGCHS operates. It capitalises on project experience, staff experiences and students – young professionals – experiences. Emphasis is on defining and elaborating strategic interventions.

  17. Evolution of ideas/approaches • Policies, Programs, Projects Professionals are not at the end phase of development efforts, but should actively participate in the full PPP cycle. Projects can stir innovative policies. Policies have to specify strategic and sustainable programmes and projects.

  18. Evolution of ideas/approaches • International Cooperation-in-Development International cooperation is seen as a mutual learning process, abandoning one-directional aid attitudes. Strengths and weaknesses in professional capacities although influenced by historical realities, transcend and capitalize on cultural and geographic differentiation.
