The programme will equip students:
- To develop a deeper understanding of the role of urban design as a transdisciplinary practice.
- To leverage critical urban theory as strategic framework for research based design.
- To critically analyse, document and spatially visualise complex urban issues.
- To propose spatial strategies that are fundamentally rooted in spatial, social, racial and environmental justice.
- To think critically about the city and urban process to design its future and anticipating it's building through citizen engagement.
- To engage with partners to experiment with the practice of urban design beyond the classroom through real-life platforms of engagement.
- To understand spatial practices in tandem with developmental processes beyond the Global South-North divide.
Who this course is for
The programme encourages a multidisciplinary approach, attracting professionals who already have a background in the built environment field, principally architects, designers, planners, geographers and engineers. The programme is also suited to applicants from other professional backgrounds who are interested in the built environment and seeking to increase their understanding of urban environmental issues in developing countries and to develop practical design skills. The MSc attracts most of its students from overseas, but also from UK.
What this course will give you
The Bartlett is the UK's largest multidisciplinary Faculty of the Built Environment, bringing together dozens of scientific and professional specialisms required to research, understand, design, construct and operate the buildings and urban environments of the future.
The Development Planning Unit is an international centre concerned with promoting sustainable forms of development, understanding rapid urbanisation and encouraging innovation in the policy, planning and management responses to the economic, social and environmental development of cities and regions, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Its programmes are supported by international agencies as well as by national and provincial governments.
The Building and Urban Design in Development (BUDD) programme in particular reflects on the necessity of design practices to contribute to changing the mainstream paradigm of working with the urban poor, with communities and the city itself.
