When thinking about the concept of a modern city, the importance of spatial planning and urbanism is vital so that society itself can develop in the most optimal way possible. Territorial Management and Urban Studies professionals are able to actively intervene in a qualified and innovative way in the formulation of strategies and concrete solutions for the problems that arise in the planning, construction, rehabilitation and management of urban and metropolitan spaces.
Based on technical knowledge and a deep capacity for critical reflection, this master’s program aims to provide advanced training in the practice of planning and land management, as well as in the implementation of advanced and innovative techniques for processing information in the analysis of problems and responses in the scope of spatial planning and urbanism.
The Master Programme in Territorial Management and Urban Studies is a joint initiative of Técnico, the Faculty of Architecture and the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning (IGOT) of the University of Lisbon.
This offer at master's level aims to develop specialized training on policies, strategies, methodologies and tools of management and territorial development, allowing a multifaceted and critical approach of the problems and corresponding solutions. Still it gives special attention to issues relating to the role and dynamics of regional and sectoral authorities, the other private and associative actors.
The course aims to respond to an effective and potential demand from technical staff and practitioners in the field of land management and urbanism, as well as aims to give advanced training for students interested on theoretical debate, critical methodology and practice of planning and land management.
The relevance of this central goal can only be consistently met with an integrative approach to the issues under discussion and the provision of innovative, current and stimulating perspectives on territorial and urban issues.
