Civil Engineering & Territory

Knowledge of the role of civil engineering infrastructures in the transformation and development of Spanish territories. Theoretical-practical knowledge is intended by approaching the history of civil engineering works, as well as by analysing the location of public works in the territory and their territorial impact. Infrastructure development will be attended from the knowledge of the foundations of sectoral planning and its relationship with territorial planning. The incidence of civil engineering infrastructure in the different Spanish territorial and urban models will be assessed. It will show the need for landscape integration of infrastructure in its environment, as well as urban infrastructure and services as building elements of the city and its public spaces. In metropolitan areas, the role of transport and mobility infrastructures and current technological applications will be studied, giving rise to the ?Smart Cities?. Through the study of national and international cases, students will be given a global vision of the role of civil engineering infrastructure in the transformation and development of different territories. In addition, field visits will be carried out to illustrate the theoretical and practical contents in situ.
