Course Objectives This course is meant to provide knowledge of basic urban concepts and at the same time to provide a critical investigation of the various urban design paradigms and approaches that respond to the challenges of contemporary urbanism. It introduces the methods with which urban design has guided public interventions in the built environment, and on that basis students are expected to be able to functionally and creatively improve the physical characteristics of the urban space and built environment.

Learning Outcomes After successful  completion of the course, the student will be able to:
  1. Analyze key concepts of urban design and critically examine their application in recent professional practice
  2. Communicate these concepts to design participants in non-technical language
  3. Restructure and applying these concepts as analytical and prescriptive techniques
  4. Critically apply these techniques and evaluating the design proposals on which they were based
  5. Analyze case studies of urban design projects and their socio-spatial impacts on communities.
  6. Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage, SDG 11.4
