Department of Spatial Planning, Faculty of Architecture, CTU in Prague, opens the course for students and professionals from various fields: urban planning, urban studies, geography, economics or public administration, as well as for students in different stages of their studies from bachelor to doctoral level.
In the course, we will not only teach theory but also its practical application. With a scope of 20 hours of teaching divided into two three-day blocks, we will provide lectures, practical seminars, discussions, and two informal evening meetings. We will also have a hands-on session, giving you the opportunity to work with actual urban data and analyze it. The lectures will be complemented by practical exercises using the open-source statistical software R, ensuring you can apply what you learn directly to your work. Moreover, each student will have 30 minutes of individual office hours to discuss in more detail topics of their interest, making you feel supported and valued in your learning journey.
The principal lecturer is Ing. arch. Lukáš Makovský, M.A., Ph.D., currently based at the Institute of Real Estate and Planning at the University of Readin.
The second lecturer, doc. Ing. arch. Jakub Vorel, Ph.D., the head of the Department of Spatial Planning FA CTU, will introduce the audience to the hedonic pricing model val4plan (output of the TAČR ÉTA project TL03000695).
High school-level mathematics should be perfectly sufficient. Considering the diversity of students’ backgrounds, we designed individual blocks for the course to cover the topics from the introductory to the advanced level. To further support learning, each student will have 30 minutes of individual office hours to discuss issues of interest in more detail.
1st block: Fri 1.11 - Sun 3.11
2nd block: Fri 8.11 - Sun 10.11.
Number of participants: 20-25.
