Justification:
The territory is a key area of professional intervention of the civil engineer, as an agent (or producer) of built structures, infrastructure and equipment, as an agent of institutions with responsibilities in the organization and administration of the territory, or as technical manager or entities engaged in real estate management. Therefore, training in spatial planning is fundamental for the 'use' and 'production' of the built space with the principles of balanced and sustainable development.
OBJECTIVES:
- Introduce students to the problems of spatial planning, providing the framework for the civil engineer's role as an agent of change;
- Provide a structured body of knowledge about the spatial organization of the territories, especially the urbanized;
- Framing the role of planning and urban management, to systematize the different modes of intervention in the territory (especially the formal planning), and promote in-depth knowledge of techniques and methodologies of urban regulation.
SKILLS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Knowledge: Identify the main problems associated with trends of occupation and land use. Describe the concepts that drive the strategies, methodologies and tools of intervention in the territory. Identify types of plans and their nature.
Understanding: To evaluate and distinguish conflicts and intervention needs. Distinguish the main concepts and objectives associated with different types of plans. Interpret and manipulate the main criteria and indicators as part of the planning system in force in Portugal.
Application: Develop criteria and establish methodologies for the analysis and interpretation of plans and different urban solutions. Calculate indicators and urban parameters.
Analysis: Develop capabilities to analyze and compare different types of interventions and methodologies of urban regulation. Discuss strategies, processes and tools for intervention in the territory.
Summary: To propose solutions to increase the capacity of intervention in the territory.
Evaluation: Evaluate existing tools and methodologies, and recommend conditions for future development.

The teaching will consist of theoretical classes, with a predominantly explanatory nature, and in theoretical and practical classes, with group work.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Students are encouraged to develop criteria and establish methodologies for the analysis and interpretation of plans and different urban solutions, calculate indicators and urban parameters, develop capabilities to analyze and compare different types of interventions and methodologies of urban regulation, discuss strategies, processes and tools for intervention in the territory, to propose solutions to increase the capacity of intervention in the territory, evaluate existing tools and methodologies, and recommend conditions for future development.

Achieving final classification requires compliance with attendance at the course unit, according to the MIEC assessment rules. It is considered that students meet the attendance requirements if, having been regularly enrolled, the number of absences of 25% for each of the classes’ types is not exceeded.
Final grade (CF) is determined as follows
CF = max {CT ; EF}, where
CT = 0,25 TP + 0,75 EF
TP – result of the term assignment (written report and oral presentation)
EF - result of the final exam
In the case of ERASMUS students that can't follow the course in Portuguese, grading will be done through the evaluation of a written report to be proposed by the Professor responsible for the course.
Working time estimated out of class: 3 hours
Due to COVID19 situation, Final grade (CF) is determined as follows
CF = max {CT ; EF}, where
CT = 7/20 TP + 13/20 EF
TP – result of the term assignment (written report and oral presentation)
EF - result of the final exam
