SPS<br />
For SPS I see many challenges, opportunities,<br />
and assets. The one I<br />
would like to endorse is becoming<br />
key in a departmental centre of excellence<br />
on urban and regional planning<br />
and design pedagogy, focusing on evidence-based<br />
educ<strong>at</strong>ion innov<strong>at</strong>ions,<br />
research on urbanism educ<strong>at</strong>ion, various<br />
online and on-campus form<strong>at</strong>s<br />
of teaching and learning <strong>at</strong> BSc, MSc,<br />
post-MSc, and PhD levels, and being<br />
an acknowledged consultant for urbanism<br />
educ<strong>at</strong>ion. SPS will continue to<br />
contribute to this with our expertise on<br />
teaching and learning in our domains<br />
of sp<strong>at</strong>ial planning and governance, regional<br />
design and planning, vision and<br />
str<strong>at</strong>egy-making, and intern<strong>at</strong>ional urbanis<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
and development.<br />
Becoming such a centre has to be built<br />
– first and foremost – on the fruitful<br />
cooper<strong>at</strong>ion with our colleagues from<br />
the sections of Urban Design, Urban<br />
Studies, Landscape Architecture, and<br />
Environmental Modelling in both educ<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
and research. This will further<br />
strengthen the core values of our <strong>Delft</strong><br />
approach to urbanism: integr<strong>at</strong>ing design,<br />
planning, engineering, and social<br />
science approaches. Additionally, our<br />
educ<strong>at</strong>ion expertise could be consolid<strong>at</strong>ed<br />
via an intensified cooper<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
with several Dutch and intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
bodies of sp<strong>at</strong>ial planning and design<br />
in practice in order to get our students<br />
connected to the socio-sp<strong>at</strong>ial planning<br />
and design challenges in practice:<br />
interdisciplinary educ<strong>at</strong>ional urban living<br />
labs for research and intervention.
