ABOUT

The Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies (SPRING) is a two-year Master´s degree program that addresses current topics of spatial planning in developing and emerging countries. The first year of the SPRING program takes place at TU Dortmund University in Germany, followed by a second year at one of the five partnering universities in Ghana, Tanzania, The Philippines, Brazil or Chile.

Since 2020, the Federal University of ABC - through the Graduate Programs in Territory Planning and Management, and in Public Policy - enriches the network with its special study focus on planning, governance and public policy for sustainable urban agglomeration.

The SPRING Master’s degree program provides students with knowledge, skills and methods for a sustainable and endogenous development of communities, districts and regions. A particular concern of the program is to improve management and organizational skills so that the social and technical infrastructure in the fields of employment, education and regional economy can optimally develop taking into account the natural, economic, cultural, political and social conditions.

The SPRING curriculum consists of 10 modules. The corresponding courses of the modules are offered as lectures, seminars, exercises, workshops and excursions. The first year at TU Dortmund University consists of the modules 1 to 6, whereas the SPRING partner university offers the modules 7 to 10.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The SPRING program combines teaching in development theories and strategies, planning concepts and methods, and implementation and monitoring tools with practice-orientated field studies aimed at elaborating regional development plans and programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The program content is oriented by the specific socio-economic problems in the developing world.

SPRING places its emphasis on development management at an intermediate level (e.g. district) between macro-regional and community-based planning. Development planning is seen as a problem-oriented management tool with the following objective:

  • to identify development problems, trends, resources, constraints and potentials;
  • to formulate development objectives, policies and strategies;
  • to design plans and programs;
  • to assess environmental impacts of plans and programs;
  • to organize target group participation and decision-making processes;
  • to apply instruments for program implementation and management and
  • to evaluate and monitor plans and programs.
