Course summary
Our Sustainable Urban Design MArch is a research and project-based programme that will assist the enhancement of the quality of our cities by bringing innovative design into a new relationship with the latest theoretical research on the special structure of the urban form. Through creative urban design proposals (as opposed to purely theoretical work), the programme will provide you with an understanding of the complex relationship between spatial and design issues and social and economic urban processes. It addresses urban design as a mode of research and practice that shapes urban environments and responds to urban problems. This programme covers all of the areas required of an urban designer in contemporary practice, including:
- public and urban design theory and practice
- urban regeneration
- sustainable urbanism theory and applications
- urban policy
