Finland: August 10th - 22nd, 2009
The Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (YTK) at the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) is hosting the fifteenth YTK/IFHP Urban Planning and Design Summer School in Finland in August 2009.
The Summer School will be organised in close cooperation with the cities of Turku and Jyväskylä, where the active field work of the course will take place.
The first days of the course will be spent in
the Helsinki region. This part of the course consists of lectures and excursions.
The core of the Summer School is the following ten days of workshops taking place in the partner cities.
The field work is based on actual town planning tasks. Participants will be assigned to analyse
the existing conditions of planning areas and to suggest innovative and realistic improvements to the environments.
This year's theme will be "Mapping Urban Space - Alternative Strategies for Emergent Urban Forms". The course will concentrate on one hand on alternative mapping of urban resources and on the other hand on alternative planning instruments. The lectures as well as the given projects will reflect the theme. Summer School also provides the participants with an opportunity to publish their writings in an official publication. The annual publication includes articles and essays written by the participants as well as summaries of the projects produced in the workshops.
The YTK/IFHP Summer School entitles participants five ECTS study credits.
This announcement is an invitation for applying to the YTK/IFHP Urban Planning and Design Summer School 2009 in Finland. It is addressed to students at all levels of studies, and young professionals, from all disciplines related to physical planning. We look forward to receiving applications, among others, from urban planners, architects, sociologists and geographers!
The course will be held 10-22 August 2009 and the application period will end at the end of March 2009. An electronic application form and further information on the course can be found on our website: http://ytksummerschool.tkk.fi
