Built Environment - Spatial Planning Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas)

Overview

For example, you might draw up an environmental plan for the transformation of an old industrial site in a city into an area with homes, offices and recreational facilities.

In doing so, you take into account the latest societal and technological developments and research trends in living, working and recreation. Your plans are financially feasible and comply with the law. You supervise the entire process, from idea to implementation.

In the Built Environment - Spatial Planning course at Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) , you will learn how to design and redesign urban and rural areas, develop sustainable mobility solutions, and learn how to transform your ideas into real spatial designs. In this way, you will contribute to addressing major societal challenges and literally help shape the world of tomorrow.
