Students after attending lectures and completing projects should be able to:

• Acquire knowledge on the different infrastructures and their roles in spatial development
• Comprehend the role of infrastrucutres in spatial development theories
• Become acquainted with the characteristics of development of different types of infrastrucutre networks
• Plan and complete a paper using scientific literature and empirical research 

Infrastructures: definitions, types of infrastructures (technical, technological, social, etc.). Theories of spatial development with emphasis on theories that bring forward theo rile of infrastructures. Impacts of infrastructure building in the environment, society, economy. Mathematical models for land use-transport, input-output etc., that are used in analysing ifrastructure role. European and national infrastructure policies. New trends on infrastructures.

In the projects that sstudents will complete, the practical dimensions of some of the theoretical aspects will be explored.
