The course aims to familiarize the postgraduate student with selected principles and concepts that mainly concern the dynamics of the City - Countryside. The postgraduate students are invited to approach, both in the context of theoretical lectures and in the context of their assignments, selected design issues with the aim of the sustainable development of characteristic spatial and social systems.
