Planning by Design: Campuses, Waterfronts, Districts, and Cities

Graduate

Spring In responding unprecedented challenges of density, information, equity, and climate change, cities continue to define and design "districts." Waterfront, historic, arts, innovation and ecodistricts draw on models including on university/corporate campuses, neighborhoods, main streets, and downtowns. How can cities remake districts in that are viable in terms of engagement and opportunity? How can they be meaningful and inclusive in a society that appears to be increasingly less place-based? Through presentations, case studies, and the semester project, students will develop strategies to respond to these challenges. Course Website: http://soa.cmu.edu
