The course is an introduction to contemporary urban design in Europe and to the main theories and positions from the past five decades. Urban design integrates aspects from planning, landscape architecture, architectural design, sociology, geography, cultural studies, and urban history. A principal goal of the course is to tie a connection between theory and practice to better understand the many dilemmas that occur in urban development and that urban design needs to address. You visit urban design, architecture, and landscape architecture in Copenhagen and use the transformation Copenhagen has gone through in recent decades to better understand what drives urban design.
