Urban Landscapes and Green Equity

3 credits · Undergraduate

The equitable design, implementation and management of our urban landscapes requires an interdisciplinary skillset that hinges on the understanding of environmental, political, and community factors that give rise to complex socio-economic and socio-demographic patterns. Students will use urban data analytics and design methods at various scales – from neighborhood to regional – with an emphasis on balancing between sustainable development and green equity as we strive to address a changing climate.
