MSc Urban Design

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

Recent data and predictions on the forthcoming rate of urbanization make cities the most common living environment now and in the future. What kind of life will it be for the seven billion people living in existing or developing cities? Cities hold tremendous potential but, at the same time, are sources of stress, inequalities, and pollution.

2015 the United Nations recognized this through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which included 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goal 11 is dedicated to urban settlements, to 'Make Cities Inclusive, Safe, Resilient and Sustainable.'

This means that getting the design of cities right has never been so important. The questions are: what kind of design should we adopt, and who should be in charge? Our course explicitly addresses these questions and teaches how to design responsive, resilient, sustainable cities for all their inhabitants, thus preparing socially responsible urban design professionals of the future.

This innovative course is based on the Urban Design Studies Unit's cutting-edge research in design, urban analytics, morphology, and theory.
