Overview
What you will study
The Resilience Thinking in Sustainable Planning course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology consists of two parts:
- The first part focuses on the theories and concepts underlying Resilience Thinking.
- The second part is a practical application of resilience in the form of a Resilience Assessment exercise (group project work) in relation to planning.
We use lectures, literature seminars, a study visit, a home exam, and a group project to reach the learning objectives of the course. The seminars, the home exam, and the project work are the parts needed to complete the course.
After passing the course the student should be able to:
- explain and use central concepts in resilience thinking
- discuss how these central concepts relate to each other
- reflect on and critically discuss resilience thinking in general and in relation to sustainable planning in particular
- apply social-ecological resilience in a planning context
- present written work in a scientifically sound way
- work in a collaborative project setting
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- social-ecological systems
- ecosystems
- the adaptive cycle
- regime shifts and thresholds
- resilience
- adaptability
- transformability
The concepts are discussed in lectures, seminars and during the student's own studies of literature as well as in group work. We specifically analyze the concepts in relation to sustainable planning.
