Seminars

On Tuesday 26th of September 2023, the department of Spatial Planning hosted a seminar on Global trends and implications for spatial planning. The seminar was presented by Professor Christiane Hellmanzik, a chair of the department of urban, regional, and international economics.
In a seminar, a professor highlighted the profound implications of global trends on spatial planning. Key areas of focus included economic uncertainties, housing market dynamics, labor market shifts, migration trends, technological advances, and demographic changes. These factors demand agile urban planning strategies, addressing housing needs, accommodating workforce transformations, anticipating population shifts, adapting to technological innovations, and designing age-friendly communities. Spatial planners must navigate these challenges while prioritizing sustainability and resilience in their planning efforts.
