This Master´s programme provides students with in-depth knowledge on urban and regional planning in an international perspective. It enables students to develop critical insights into planning theories, cultures and practices, apply social science methods, and to understand the varying institutional and spatial contexts in cities and regions. Urban and regional planning is constantly challenged by the transformation of society as well as by changes in our knowledge about and understanding of the world. This means that the values and applications of planning have to be continuously critically assessed. This multidisciplinary programme is designed for students who wish to deepen their knowledge of the terms and conditions of planning in Sweden and internationally. It is intended both for those who have a recent undergraduate degree and those who have some working experience and would like to get new impulses and insights. The programme is linked to the research profiles The Stockholm Urban and Regional Research Environment (SURE), Historical Geography and Landscape Studies, The Population Geography Resarch Group, and Urban Africa.
