Why this master's degree?
The Master's proposal extends the training for professionals dedicated to local development, involved in the management and transformation of cities (mainly in Latin America), emphasizing the exchange of knowledge and experiences, as well as the establishment of networks for cooperation and development.

It is a Master's Degree, promoted by the Department of Urban Planning and Territorial Planning (DUOT) and in collaboration with the Superior Technical School of Architecture of Vallès (ETSAV).

The motivations to raise it are:
  • The gap between the increase in the urban population and the need for technical cadres that adequately address the demands of governments to manage the city and the territory.
  • Growing importance of local governments in the urban and territorial processes of sustainable development, demanding specific training modules for their technicians. This is already one of the formative orientations of the Higher Technical School of Architecture of the Vallès, which aims to support teaching, research and technology transfer with a remarkable relationship with the world of Local Government.
  • Possibility of sharing the vast experience of urban and territorial management developed in Spain, Catalonia and Barcelona during the last 20 years. The cultural proximity to Latin America and the Mediterranean that, in addition to facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experiences during the program, facilitates the consolidation of networks of cities, cooperation and urban research.
  • Social function to be fulfilled by the University, in an increasingly interconnected world, exploring the opportunities of research and joint training to help the transformation of living conditions.

Plan Base Workshop
Coordinator: Josep Mª Llop Torné

Focused on the study of intermediate cities, the UIA-CIMES Program notes the lowest economic and technical resources available to this type of cities for their urban development. However, in the same way as the other cities that have these resources, they need to planning instruments to guide sustainable and strategic development. From this observation arises the initiative of the Base Plan, a document at once simple and flexible, since its realization does not require important means and allows these cities to make a state of the issue of their urban development, lead a reflection and define the proposals on priority actions.

The Self-Managed City and Human Settlements
COORDINATORS: Núria Colomé Montull and Paula Martí Comas

The module addresses the intervention in the city, placing the habitat as the central axis, understanding the habitat as a set that includes both the home itself and its surroundings and which ideally is a space that allows meeting the needs of its inhabitants.

In the first part, a theoretical approach is made around the right to housing and to the city, which will serve as a starting point for the analysis of real cases and practical mechanisms for improving the habitat.

In the second part, different cases are studied with the participation of people involved in their management and with visits to some projects. The analysis of the practical cases is based on the type of management, paying special attention to processes self-managed by the inhabitants themselves, whether in housing cooperatives or in self-built neighbourhoods, where communities provide themselves with services. In addition, cases of intervention in the consolidated city are studied, with the aim of improving the existing housing and the living conditions of its inhabitants, emphasizing that the improvement of the habitat reaches the houses themselves and does not remain only in the spaces public.

Final Project
The TFM intends that the student develop an individual work oriented to guarantee their acquisition of competences, their capacity to formulate
Strategies and actions for the management of urban and / or territorial transformations, and the deepening of technical instruments. It is proposed, therefore, a work that is already developed along the master's degree with a good systematization of the contents of the different modules, seminars and workshops. In addition, the TFM is considered as an intensification of some themes from the work of the Base Plan Workshop that takes place in the course of the master's degree, understood as the development of specific topics arising during the presentation of the master, and that deserve to be deepened with greater specificity, in order to acquire more competence in the generation of adequate instruments to solve the similar problems.
