Urban Land Use Developmental Processes

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Seminar/Discussion) This course investigates the processes by which urban development occurs (land use planning, urban governance, housing, industrial, etc.) with a critical appraisal of resulting urban form. Relevant urban theories are examined through the critical lenses of their urban form and development. Two major foci of the course are on how to make a local community (neighbourhood planning) and the design of social and public spaces as a means to develop a sustainable and healthy city.
