Regenerating shopping districts or old industrial sites; designating water retention areas; shaping urban mobility concepts for the future. These are just some examples of projects spatial planners take on. Related challenges vary in scale, from individual property to European policy making. The programme's subtitle 'managing smart cities and regions' reflects the challenges of current and coming urban societies, at a time that ambitions for a 'New Urban Agenda' for the 21st century are formulated, with policies and strategies to create more sustainable and equitable urban spaces.

Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?

Upon completion students will have knowledge of:
  • interfaces between different planning concepts, sectors, specialisations and interests
  • synergies that are found and trade-offs that are made along these interfaces
  • paths through which integrative planning is manifested in policy formulation, decision-making and projects at different geographical and institutional levels

specialisaties

specialisatie European Spatial and Environmental Planning

The Master's specialisation 'European spatial and environmental planning' prepares for a career in the area of strategic spatial planning and European spatial planning and territorial cooperation.

The spatial impacts of European Union policy are visible wherever we look. Transnational transport connections, such as the Öresund bridge, or nature protection through the Natura2000 network, are examples of the influence of EU policy on land use patterns in our regions. The freedoms of the Single European Market give EU citizens the right to work and to buy a house in another country, and companies the opportunity to settle anywhere in the EU. The globalisation of the economy and increasing interlinkages between regions have led to a growth in transport volumes across the EU, as exemplified by recent expansions of many European airports. Many of these EU developments have considerable spatial and environmental implications.

This international and European dimension to spatial and environmental planning in the nations and regions of the EU is the focus of our full-time international Master specialisation on 'European spatial and environmental planning' (ESEP).

The Master's in European spatial and environmental planning is a specialistion of the Master's programme in Human Geography.

specialisatie Cities, Water and Climate Change

This Master's specialisation prepares students for working on the nexus between urban planning, water and environmental management.

specialisatie Urban and Regional Mobility

This Master's specialisation prepares students for working on the nexus between mobility and spatial, water and environmental management.

Mobility deals with increasingly complex flows of people and goods in the networked city and region. The demand side of mobility is changing everyday with differentiated lifestyles, changes in technology and new evolving spatial structures. The supply side is increasingly being focused on flexible services and better utilisation of physical infrastructure for which transport management will be essential. An integrated view and strategy to enable future mobility is a challenging task.

The Ministry for Infrastructure and Environment requires, for instance, integrated agendas to frame future infrastructure development. This Master's specialisation will deal with such issues, looking into different integrated mobility systems or transport modes at different spatial scales. It will also look into innovative new practices and strategies to provide mobility options for various population segments.

Finally, It will address the challenge, how to integrate the mobility and transport aspects into innovative new concepts for strategic spatial planning at the level of integrated city regions.

specialisatie Planning, Land and Real Estate Development

The programme aims to prepare students for a future role as city developer, either in the public or in the private sector.

This specialisation provides a land and real estate development perspective on urban development. Cities face continuous processes of both expansion and transformation. Population growth and economic growth lead to expansion, while processes of obsolescence and decline lead to a demand for urban transformation projects. These processes usually require investments in land and property (re)development, while planning interventions provide guidelines to investors, sometimes as opportunities, but also as barriers to what an investor might see as a profitable investment.

The type of investments and the requirements to these investments change over time. Many European cities have 'matured' and increasingly have to deal with urban transformation, while megacities in Asia and Latin America still show rapid growth. The global financial and economic crisis has slowed down real estate investments, leaving cities with stalled developments. Climate change and policies for sustainable urban development have put new challenges to land and real estate investments, but have also created new opportunities for smart city developers.

studievereniging

Mundus
Mundus is de studievereniging voor studenten Geografie, Planologie en Milieu in Nijmegen. Je kunt vanwege het economische voordeel van de boekenkorting lid worden van Mundus, maar onze vereniging heeft nog veel meer te bieden.
Onze enthousiaste actieve leden dragen bij aan de organisatie van diverse leuke activiteiten voor alle Mundusleden en andere geïnteresseerden. Je staat vrij om zelf dingen te organiseren of eraan mee te doen.

Regelmatig organiseren wij lezingen op onverwachte locaties in Nederland, excursies naar leuke steden of gewoon een dagje 'even helemaal weg'. Ook is er natuurlijk de jaarlijkse buitenlandse Mundusreis, die altijd een goede mix is van vakinhoudelijkheid, vakantiegevoel en veel lol.

Maar Mundus doet nog meer. Tijdens onze contactdag kom je, als voorbereiding op het toekomstige werkveld, in contact met sociaal geografen, planologen en millieukundigen uit de beroepspraktijk. Daarnaast is er de nu al legendarische Borrelende Kennis Quiz, waarbij studenten en docenten van de sectie het opnemen tegen andere teams van GPM. Naast studiegerelateerde activiteiten brengt Mundus natuurlijk ook ontspanning door feesten, borrels of een barbecue, waardoor je je medestudenten op een andere manier leert kennen. Elk jaar organiseert Mundus het Nationaal Geografisch en Planologisch Symposium, in samenwerking met andere studieverenigingen uit Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen en Wageningen. Wil je meer weten over Mundus? Wil je lid worden of zelf iets organiseren? Dan ben je van harte welkom in de pauze, elke middag tussen 12.30 uur en 13.30 uur, op onze kamer in de Thomas van Aquinostraat 5.0.04.

'The coupling of theory and practice is challenging but also stimulating for becoming a good planner'

I chose for Nijmegen because of the small-scale programme. I particularly enjoy the courses that train the creative thinking skills and the development of future visions.
I had to get used to the strong emphasis on research skills and the broad topic coverage, but in the end I am very happy with these as they enhance my career prospects. The climax of my study was my 5 month stay in Bergen (Norway). To study in a foreign country with people from all over the world is really fantastic.
