Übung Planning Workshop

The entire planning workshop is designed to cover the three major phases of the ideal planning cycle: Analysis, Planning and Implementation. It is a simulation group exercise where students will be confronted with specific development planning issues in order to prepare an integrated development plan for a simulated region. The essential information of this region is compiled in the ‘SPRING Regional Profile’, which provides a broad perspective of the study area and helps to create an understanding of the issues which have an impact on the development of the area. The planning workshop serves as a platform for the participants to apply various goal-oriented planning techniques and tools which have been introduced to them in the course -Programme Planning and Project Management”. Planning Strategic planning and programming is the second major step in the regional development planning process. It is preceded by a situational analysis and the development of scenarios, which form the basis and the framework for the development of creative solutions needed to overcome problems and constraints while harnessing the potentials existing in the region. The second workshop on strategic planning and programming enables participants to apply relevant tools and techniques for a systematic and elaborative visualisation of desired development events within a specific time horizon. Moreover the workshop groups evaluate the pros and cons of various alternative strategies and devise a five year regional development plan based on a chosen strategy.
