Learning outcomes |
Objective: To provide the basis for critical, sustainable and resilient intervention in urban design, with a focus on smart cities. The aim is for students to understand the systems that make up the city and their dynamics, enabling them to intervene in complex urban contexts. The course responds to the challenges of climate change and urban sustainability, aligning with SDGs 11 and 13.
Skills:
a) Design urban spaces based on sustainability, innovation and resilience.
b) Integrate urban systems (social, environmental, technological, economic) into urban planning proposals.
c) Promote inclusive and climate change-adapted solutions.
d) Reflect on the political, ethical and cultural dimensions of urban design.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Assessment in the course will consist of two stages:
1) Carrying out theoretical/practical work (TP, 70%) - with the respective interactive presentation (70%), where the acquired knowledge will be applied, and the needs and characteristics of smart cities will be discussed and interpreted;
2) Active participation in the classroom (PA, 30%) - active, critical participation will be assessed to encourage involvement and the development of communicative and critical skills.
3) Final classification:
CF = 0.7xTP + 0.3xPA
It is intended that this assessment model will foster the acquisition of knowledge in a creative way, enhancing critical thinking and increasing students' proactivity in relation to the topics covered.
