City Building: Planning for Non-Planners

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Canada is an urban nation: almost eighty percent of this country's population lives on two per cent of our land area. Yet who speaks for cities? This course uses the lens of city planning to examine how we manage and plan for change through a focus on the environmental, social, and physical elements of creating healthy cities. It will also discuss current issues facing cities and metropolitan regions as urbanists challenge both the process and the way things have always been done.
