This course provides students with a critical understanding of the relationship between human development and natural environments. Students will develop an understanding of core ecological principles and how these can be taken up in plans and policies to promote nature conservation in urban and rural environments. The course will include examples of how planners mitigate the environmental impacts of development of land, allotment of open space and parks, and conservation of sensitive areas and species in both urban and rural contexts.
