Social culture and socio- economic effects of urban renewal. costs and benefits of urban renewal schemes. Management of urban schemes. Case studies of urban renewal schemes. Students are therefore expected to conduct preliminary field survey, carry out a design of questionnaires, collect data, analyse and come up with a design as a solution to urban decay in a core area of a chosen inner city.

Comprehensive Urban Planning: Introduces the students to the concepts of comprehensive urban development and its application to small and medium size settlements, field survey, data collection, analysis of data and projection models, development criteria including plan goals and objectives, master plan for the future growth of the settlement, AutoCAD and modelling. Production of a regional master plan.

Projects on city centre renewal and devising appropriate planning solutions with emphasis on the urban metropolitan core area. Methods and techniques of preparing local plans, briefs should include; a case study of a particular metropolitan area, survey of identified area, design of questionnaires, data collection, analysis and presentation of findings and presentation of technical reports to be submitted after presentations to the external examiner. The presentations which must be in AutoCAD or GIS, must be in 2D and 3D; and accompanied by a model of the improved situation of the metropolitan area.
