Urban design

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Higher education has merged the arts of design, planning, and administration into a curriculum that can underwrite urban design practice. This chapter traces the history of design as a planning component and its study in higher education, beginning in the United States in 1956, including the long-running debates between those who would define planning as a design profession and those who have regarded it as more of a social science. More recently design as a criticalcomponent is enjoying a resurgence, with studios and supplementary online education becoming crucial resources for schools that wish to produce thoughtful planners that understand the design elements of planning.
