Global Urbanism Studio

6 units

This final semester of the Master of Urban Design program is an opportunity to synthesize concepts related to urban policy, social justice, morphology, and environmental sustainability from previous semesters into comprehensive, immersive, and research-inspired urban design proposals sited in climate-vulnerable mega-cities. Spanning from the scale of the street to the complexity of regional systems, the studio, in collaboration with international partners, focuses on the physical ramifications of social, political, environmental, and historical forces over time and the way urban design intervenes in those systems to create more equitable, sustainable, and livable cities.
