PLANNING 7030 - Urban Design Project

This course focuses on the definition, development and description of a major culminating urban design project that both challenges and demonstrates students' skills in and knowledge of urban design. The project will be of moderate complexity, negotiating issues at several scales and alert to multiple social, political and biophysical environmental and engineering contexts. Responses should demonstrate familiarity with common processes and competency in typical phases of urban design thought and practice. The final presentation should show thorough integration of all major urban design considerations as taught in the academic program and be inclusive of relevant broader planning knowledge.
