The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with the basic theory of modern development of towns and cities, as well as to learn critical thinking and logical argumentation in their individual work. The course topics are investigated from various angles; students do complementary research and explore broader historical, geographical, and political contexts. The resulting texts and presentations must comply with the format and referencing of sources.

• Students will learn how to critically evaluate a wide spectrum of theoretical texts and films.
