Summary of the subject: The course consists of twelve lectures in which the main provisions of four logically structured topics are revealed. The sequence of their presentation corresponds to the generally accepted periodization of history into five main epochs: prehistoric and ancient periods, the Middle Ages, New and Modern times. Particular attention is paid to the coverage of educational information about the evolution of urban settlements from antiquity (3 thousand years BC) to modern times (early twentieth century). The logically structured topics summarize the basic concepts and categories that allow to understand the peculiarities of the formation and patterns of urban development in historical retrospect; features of formation under the influence of political, economic and social factors and in interrelation with the general laws of historical process and cultural development are revealed; formulated the internal nature of historical processes in the context of the development of modern cities in Ukraine and the world, which have become an important condition for the formation of their values; examples of using the acquired knowledge of the history of urban planning in the professional activity of the architect and a comprehensive analysis of historical processes, events and facts from the scientific standpoint of their interpretation are demonstrated. To deepen the acquired knowledge and improve practical skills of comparative-historical and historical-typological analysis, identification of logic and objective patterns of historical development of the city, each topic is accompanied by control measures (current control) and ends with the development of individual research.

Assessment methods and criteria: Methods of assessing knowledge and skills of the learner in studying the discipline include: ongoing monitoring of the students' work: computer-based testing, graphic tasks; final assessment: completion of an individual research task; semester assessment: computer-based testing (level I difficulty tasks - tests; level II difficulty tasks - essays); oral questioning.
Критерії оцінювання результатів навчання: Ongoing monitoring is carried out during classroom sessions to assess the level of students' preparation on a certain topic in order to provide feedback between teachers and students and manage students' learning motivation. The final assessment is part of the student's independent work and is carried out in the form of an individual research task. When assessing this task, the main attention is paid to the correspondence of the work to the topic, clarity in addressing the issues raised, independent execution and presentation of illustrative material, and compliance with copyright requirements. The individual research task has a specified deadline. The student has the opportunity to upload the work to the LMS and, after verification, see the assessment result and comment. The semester assessment is carried out in the form of an exam, which is the final stage of studying the entire discipline and aims to assess students' knowledge of the history of urban planning, as well as their skills in independent work with educational, reference, and scientific information sources. The semester assessment is carried out in the form of testing. In case of any disputed issues, an oral defense of an essay is conducted.
