Objectives
Responding to the need for qualified experts that embrace the multidimensionality of sustainability transitions
The Master in Geography and Spatial Planning focuses on the comparative aspects of geography and planning with
a particular emphasis on cross-border issues. Luxembourg and the Greater Region are used as a case study and as a theoretical frame for analysis. Students will be prepared for understanding a wide range of European and transnational planning philosophies and processes, as well as transcending current limits.
The programme addresses social, economic and environmental challenges with a geographical and multi-scalar perspective. Sustainable planning
strategies require a holistic approach and push researchers and experts to enlarge the scope of their competences and move beyond a singular disciplinary culture.
Students are encouraged to think critically and reflectively.
