Educational Reform Practice of the Course 'Urban Comprehensive Plan' in Context of Three Policies

摘要

Policies of Sponge City, Multi Planning Integration, and Ecological Restoration and City Mend, have raised new educational requirements to the course "Urban Comprehensive Plan". As such, a group of Guilin University of Technology have initiated educational reform practice consisting of: 1) prioritizing key tasks of Urban Comprehensive Plan based on the interpretation of these three policies aforementioned; 2) incorporating up-to-date policy-related bullet points into the course and identifying key and difficult points in teaching after carefully examining the ongoing Course Syllabus designed solely to meet the Professional Norms; 3) exploring the Educational Reform Implementation based on the case of the Class of 2013-; including case selection, in-class teaching and after-class training and practice as well as in-class interactive processes reviewing the presentations of both individual work modules and final planning schemes; and 4) inviting six groups to rate the overall educational performance of the course with all groups rating "Excellence". This productive practice could prepare graduates for their upcoming Urban Comprehensive Plan Formulation work under such multi-policy frameworks and inform a good practice for other reform efforts regarding this course.
