The primary goal of the first quartile of this course is the creation of an area-based concept (individually) for the problem area in the city that is chosen and analysed (within a small group of 3-5 students). A subsidiary objective is that the participant gets insight in: his/her competence(s), the complexity and depth of development processes, the emergence of conflicts between stakeholder views and the way in which can be tried to solve them. During the second quartile, stakeholder views will be analysed and weighed in a cost-benefit analyses (individually), after which all concepts within the same small groups will be jointly compared through a group multi-criteria analysis.
