PLAN 409 - Community Design Studio

This intensive urban design studio provides students with the opportunity to work collaboratively in teams to develop knowledge and experience in planning and urban design at the larger scale of a subdivision or district. Studio and field instruction emphasize the integration of ecological, cultural, economic, and policy factors that contribute to the development or redevelopment of environmentally sustainable and socially vibrant mixed-use communities. Design work and reports will be developed to professional standards for presentation to a community client or expert jury panel.
