planning and extended comprehensive plans. Some components will
also be treated on a more detailed scale.
In parallel with the project assignment, there is a related course
component with the objective to provide knowledge of how different
types of risks can be addressed in land use planning, using risk
assessments as a starting point. The project assignment needs to be
designed with consideration of the demands for a resilient society.
The course also includes lectures and literature studies aimed at
addressing the problem relating to society's vulnerability.
The project assignment is presented at a public seminar. Teaching
is carried out in project form with supporting lectures,
consultations, and seminars.
