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.
