Syllabus:

This unit introduces students with no previous coursework to the concepts of urbanism, urbanity, and the changing form and meaning of the city. Students will examine the forces that have shaped urban form through history, the factors that are influencing urban development decisions today, and how they are likely to change in the future. By tracing the influence of different factors through history, the unit aims to stimulate students to speculate on the challenges of our swiftly changing world and the types of design responses required to meet them.
