The three-part problem-solving project consists of a supervised major project based on a real planning problem or issue selected by the student as either an individual or a group project. The objective is to provide a vehicle for original, in-depth problem solving.

This first subject re-introduces students to the core skills required to conduct rigorous and original problem-solving exercises. Students are also exposed to relevant research approaches and analytical techniques used in problem solving. The subject incorporates formal instructional lectures, case studies of planning problem-solving exercises, and seminar discussions. Students are required to produce a literature review, which both identifies contemporary analyses and provides an opportunity to place their chosen planning problem into the context of wider planning issues.
