Implementation Methods
One important challenge urban designers face today is that often, when they measure their final products against the urban design plans, design guidelines, and comprehensive community input, the results are disappointing, and at times unacceptable.
So what goes wrong?
This course focuses on the implementation of urban design projects in dynamic and often complex situations. Through discussions, case studies, and exercises, you’ll learn new tools and techniques to help ensure successful implementation of your projects.
