Territorial planning and ordering is a management tool aimed to configure in the short, medium, and long term the organization of the use and occupation of the territory in pursuit of efficient and sustainable territorial development.
It must be conceived as an integral Public Policy that exceeds sectoral vision, supported by principles of participation, democracy, governability, equity, cohesion, and sustainability.
The educational offer is based on in-depth knowledge of the state or private intervention mechanisms on the territory. It requires the understanding of planning (concepts, methods, and techniques), as well as basic knowledge of biophysical, geographical, and urban characteristic traits of territory and its impact on social, economic, and political actors’ behaviour which take part in the space configuration.
An entrepreneurial and collaborative spirit will be forged, with highly professional ethical behaviour, emphasizing ethical education and the social responsibility that professional actions in environmental matters entail.
