{"c_title":"[M2097.001400] Urban andv Social Innovation Living Lab \u2160","c_info":"3 credits | Lecture\/Seminar | Master | Dept. of Environmental Planning","c_summary":"This course is a study of urban innovation that teaches students to find ways to solve the problems of the city, the society, and the environment. Urban Innovation encourages experts and residents to find out their community issues and resolve these issues by themselves. The first half of this course, students will learn about the meaning of social innovation and conduct several case studies. The latter half of this course, students will carry out projects through conducting field survey studies, directly communicating with residents, and solving the community issues with them. Even though each community looks like having a similar problem, it has the different scope and feature of the problem. Hence, this workshop course will be focused on grappling with the essence of the problem and analyzing the historical, the social, the economical, and the cultural influences that each community has. Ultimately, the theory of social innovation will enlighten students about applying a theoretical approach to urban and social innovation practice."}
