URBD 511 - Urban Design

Three hours.
3 Credits

This course provides several platforms for exploring aspects of urban design. This course attempts to recognize and embrace that our understanding of the city we have created may be incomplete, and it is therefore more important to approach the study and design of urban environments from a number of different directions at once. In addition to the traditional seminar format of readings, lectures, discussions, and assignments, students will use the urban environments around us actively, as laboratories, to further their understanding of the course material with direct observation, analysis, and interaction with Baltimore and other cities.
