Want to dive into the complex world of managing regional land-use? Do you want to know more about requirements of settlement development, traffic planning and recreation areas? Let's take the interdisciplinary challenge! Learn to create a qualitative environment which is economically effective, ecologically sustainable and socially balanced!

But we ask more of you than just attending the course. We want you to discover the adorable city of Vienna and make friends with your fellows at crazy parties.
