Overview
This course provides a unique environment for planners and property developers to develop a mutual understanding of how to balance private and public interests in urban development. It has a strong focus on sustainable urban development.
The Graduate Certificate in Property and Planning is a foundation course for students who go on to study the Master of Planning (C04007) or the Master of Property Development (C04008). Both disciplines require close cooperation and this course shows students how to achieve better urban outcomes through closer partnerships between those building cities with those planning them.
Course aims
The course gives property development students an introduction to the rationale of planning and its legal framework, an introduction to the principles and practice of sustainable urban development and experience in developing a plan for a real-world urban renewal site.
It gives planning students a greater understanding of key issues in property development, such as valuation and feasibility.
The course provides students with a combination of experiential learning experiences, team working, exposure to practical skills development, together with a thorough understanding of economic, environmental and other knowledge underpinning urban management and development.
