Ran in 2 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

The course will explore the concept, causes, and roles of conflict, noting potential positive as well as negative characteristics of conflict in planning practice. Various conflict resolution strategies will be examined, including alternative dispute resolution (ADR), negotiation, and mediation. The roles of formal planning tribunals will be discussed through a review of tribunal mandates and practices in Canada and abroad. The course will use simulations to develop students' skills in approaching difficult conversations and active listening.
