Description
The Urban Project Management course is the third and final module in the `management stream', which comprises three modules in progression. It is intended to act as a `knowledge bridge' between management theory and practice and the practice of urban and regional planning and related project implementation.
The aim of the module is to provide students with an introductory yet comprehensive overview of programme and project management as applied to urban projects.
The objectives of the module are:
To introduce students to the tools and techniques of project management as applied to urban projects
To enable the student to draw links between the academic literature on project management and the everyday experience of managing urban projects
To illustrate some of the key issues, challenges and dilemmas facing practitioners in managing urban projects
To reflect critically on the project management literature, drawing on real life examples of urban projects
To provide a stepping off point for final year BSc students by arming them with both the academic and practical knowledge of urban project management applicable within the complexity of today’s urban networks.
