“…Sustainable planning requires continuous communication while "working with people" such as politicians, stakeholders, and target groups. This PBL from "Working with People" approach puts an emphasis on small "action groups" and inter-personal dialogue among multi-stakeholders, capable of providing a moral foundation for planning, similar to what Friedmann suggested [53]. Planning students wishing to work in sustainable planning practice in their country have to learn how to communicate with people and stakeholders, with politicians and real estate managers.…”

“…With regards to planning as a scientific meta-discipline, John Friedmann is one of the most influential worldwide figures from the second half of the 20th century. His contributions to planning theory and practice have yielded a rich harvest both in the context of sustainable development and planning education [53][54][55]. The PBL strategy model in the context of the Master's has been applied to several real experiences adapting Friedmann's ideas and empowerment [41] theory to practical pedagogy in sustainable rural development [18].…”

“…These agreements have provided the students with the opportunity to work on real projects with local organizational structures, allowing them to understand real problems and experience planning as social learning [20][21][22][23] in the context of innovation and rural development in Latin America and Europe [2,24]. In these platforms the "planning as social learning" body of knowledge [53,72,73] is especially considered. Innovation as a process of social learning is understood as an open and interactive process with an important social dimension, which means a constant adaptation of the forms of knowledge and learning to the constantly changing market and technological conditions [64].…”

Sustainable Development Planning: Master’s Based on a Project-Based Learning Approach

The educational subject of Sustainable Development Planning in Europe is evolving due to the implementation of the Bologna Agreement across the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This paper analyses a project-based learning strategy for training Sustainable Development Planning in postgraduate programs, in Spain (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, UPM). This project-based learning strategy is applied to an International Postgraduate Program for Sustainable Rural Development—Erasmus Mundus, Master’s of Science—with the participation of five European Union universities that formed the Agris Mundus Alliance for Sustainable Development. Using a mixed methods approach, the research examined the program’s implementation through student and staff perceptions, from the technical, behavioral and contextual project management skills. The paper argues that the “Practical Learning platforms” used in the Master’s demonstrate the correct approach of the learning strategy based on teaching–research linked to the professional sphere. The findings that were identified can be categorized as follows: (1) Perspective: holistic thinking and intellectual coherence, defining the contextual skills that must be navigated within and across the broader environment, (2) Practice: experiential learning by reconnecting to real-life situations, and (3) People: Personal and interpersonal skills required to succeed in sustainable projects, programs and portfolios. Reflections on the experience and main success factors in the learning strategy are discussed.

The Law and Ethics of Restitution

An unjust enrichment claim is generally understood to be a claim arising to correct an event or state of affairs consisting in the receipt or retention of a benefit by the defendant, and restitution is the remedy that corrects it by way of a transfer of the benefit or payment for it to the claimant. There have always been some claims of this sort: for example, the claim to recover a mistaken payment, or other invalid transfers of money or property; the claim to recover a prepayment or for payment for part performance, on the breakdown of a contract; and the claim for payment for a benefit conferred in the absence of a contract, for example in an emergency, as in the case of a salvor saving a ship foundering at sea. Until relatively recently, these various claims did not receive much attention in textbooks or university law courses, and in the case law they often seemed to be treated as a residual miscellany. Nowadays they are in the limelight. Many commentators have argued, or often just assumed, that the reason why these claims were overlooked for so long is that the courts failed to recognise a distinct category of the common law, a third private law category of restitution or unjust enrichment, analogous to contract and tort. In recent English cases, following the lead of the textbooks, the judges have indeed appeared to recognise such a category. But what is the significance of this? Is it just a matter of convenience in the exposition of the law and the administration of practice and teaching, which will help in a practical way to ensure that unjust enrichment claims are not ignored, or does it actually affect the law itself, and legal reasoning over unsettled law? In this substantial contribution to the literature, focussed on US law, Hanoch Dagan adopts a distinctive approach to this question. In Chapter 1, Dagan outlines his general approach to the common law, which he characterises as pragmatist in the tradition of American Legal Realism (pp. 3-10). One might take this to mean that he regards legal doctrine as just a "smokescreen" for the extraneous psychological or social factors that really determine how cases are decided. But Dagan denies this; he is not a sceptic about legal doctrine. The important point that he takes from Legal
