Description
Urban planning shapes the city spaces where we live, work, and play, and affects the well-being of all urban dwellers. Students critically examine planning history, theory, and practice in local context, with an emphasis on understanding values, power, and process. Students explore planning at city and neighbourhood scales through assignments, activities, and field trips that highlight current issues and planning strategies for equity and transformation. Topics may include community leadership and participation in planning, Indigenous urban planning, planning as social control, and planning for sustainable and equitable cities.
