In SFU's part-time Urban Design Certificate, you'll study the craft of place-making through an interdisciplinary approach to urban design issues. You'll consider the economic, social and environmental considerations involved in sustainable urban design, and enhance your visual communication skills. A variety of electives will enable you to focus on specific urban design issues such as transportation, urban revitalization, the public realm, integrated neighbourhoods, implementation methods and more. You’ll apply what you learn in two practical studio courses.
