Construction Management & Urban Development
The increasingly dynamic complexity of construction and consequently the changing perception of interests and values have initiated the development of a new programme in the domain area between ‘construction engineering’ on the one hand and ‘scientific management and economics’ on the other hand.
The traditional, solely technical approach regarding research and education needed to be converted to an approach from the viewpoint of process development, in which social aspects, organizational issues and management methodologies are integrated with technology. The focus on processes is claiming growing attention of those in charge of technical management and implementation. To evaluate different options in a technological and social context and to test practical feasibility, a process-oriented approach of development is needed. A major feature of the presented MSc programme is therefore that it is process - and organization oriented: the central focus in this programme will be on the design, the organization and the management of urban development and management processes.
