Urban Design and Physical Planning
Urban designers study the design of the built environment, from details on a street sign to a bird’s-eye structure of metropolitan regions. The urban design specialization bridges architecture and planning, focusing on each discipline as a form of critical inquiry into the other. Studios, seminars, and community-based learning formats cover theories, methods, and case studies in urban design, physical and spatial planning, sustainable design, landscape design, and tools for financing urban design proposals.
