Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The course is designed as a study of new Ecological Design Principles & urban policy proposals, in order to reduce the exhaustion of earth resources and environmental pollution.
As far as planning or design is concerned, mere just statistical data collection of pollution and disaster figures has no practical value. Instead, existing urban policies are re examined; living, working and free time activities of human beings, production of natural food patterns and transportation schemes are reconsidered.
Principle of productivity excluding natural resource costs as externality has been changed to include these costs in their calculations.

Course Content:

Students of urban policy and local governments as well architects and engineers should be familiar with the ecological project planning processes used by many international organizations. Problems of ecological thought planning interrelations would be discussed.
