Projects in Landscape Planning 3. Spring 2024

Graduate course, Technical University of Munich (TUM), 2024

Course Description

This course focuses on landscape planning techniques with an emphasis on ecological principles. Students develop skills in analyzing landscape elements and creating sustainable planning solutions.

Advanced Methods and Concepts in Urban Ecosystems. Spring 2024

Graduate course, Technical University of Munich (TUM), 2024

Course Description

Urban areas are major drivers of global environmental change, habitat degradation, changes in biodiversity, and the loss of vegetation biomass. These and many other factors emphasize the necessity to understand and examine how urbanization affects the interactions between humans, greenspaces, wildlife and the built environment. Furthermore, it opens questions around the possibilities for urban habitats and landscapes to support the enhancement of biodiversity, energy conservation, food security, public health and well-being. This module explores the ecology and planning of urban areas and landscapes. We will discuss advanced concepts in urban ecology and will utilize methodological approaches in urban ecology research including collecting and analyzing biodiversity data, structure and functions of greenspaces data, analyzing remotely sensed spatial data, and harnessing citizen science and social media data.
