URBN 6023 - Urban Design, Urbanism, and the Contemporary City

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

The seminar has been carefully structured to help students gain an understanding of the historical and theoretical context from which urban design has emerged. Through critique and discussion of readings the seminar will advance an informed framework for considering urban design in its traditional role as the intersection of architecture, planning, and landscape architecture, and as it is emerging as a stand-alone professional field. We will reframe urban issues and design intervention through familiarization with selected writings from urban planning and architectural theory, as well as emerging theory on landscape urbanism, and established theories on urbanism from urban sociologist, urban geographers, and economists in order to understand how the contemporary city is being shaped.
