This course is a requirement for completion of the Urban Design Certificate Program. It investigates the complex nature of ‘successful’ urban design and attempts to identify and evaluate examples of urban design that are at the leading edge of practice, anticipating the future. The seminar will deal with two parallel questions: what are the key trends that will shape the future form and function of cities, and how will these changes affect the role of the urban designer?
