Overview
Advanced urban design and land development planning: sustainability in urban design, urban design theory, place making and the built environment.
Building upon the introductory paper on urban design (SURV 303), this paper explores a variety of design methods, case studies and approaches to undertaking urban development. Through lectures, readings and class discussions, students will gain a greater understanding of how development professionals can contribute to socially, environmentally and economically successful development projects.
