Summary/Abstract: Planbussen is a master-level course in local development and planning offered within the five-year Master of Architecture program at the Department of Architecture and Planning. It focuses on planning challenges in smaller towns and rural municipalities, emphasizing the need for proactive development strategies. Conducted in collaboration with 2–3 municipalities each year, Planbussen is rooted in practice-based fieldwork and real-world problem solving. The course aims to enhance students’ planning competence while exploring the educational value and societal relevance of problem-, project-, and practice-based learning in architecture and planning education.
