Introduction to Urban Design

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

While our urban settlements can be viewed as our most enduring cultural artefacts, the form and evolution of the city is emerging as a significant global issue confronting contemporary societies. This unit seeks to develop an appreciation of the historic evolution of the city and the range of forces impacting on city development both across time and in different social, political and economic circumstances. This unit provides the opportunity for students to develop practical skills in the generation, representation, and communications of design.
