The unit will encourage you to engage with the substantive and procedural theories that inform how and why we plan, and provide the philosophical foundations that justify contemporary planning in both the private and public sectors. In this unit you will reflect on the diverse views and disciplinary insights that are present in a range of alternative theories of planning, and demonstrate your capacity to articulate your own personal philosophy of planning and the importance of ethical behaviour and codes in professional practice. This is a final year unit that will draw on the knowledge and skills you have developed through your previous units and through the experience of practice that you have gained as part of Work Integrated Learning or through working in the industry.","title-full":"ABH456 Planning Theory and Ethics","title-short":"Planning Theory and Ethics","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=ABH456&year=2026","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=ABH456","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=ABH456"},"year":2026,"years":[2026]}
