City Design

The Graduate Certificate in City Design is a joint program between the School of Architecture and the Department of Landscape Architecture. The certificate program promotes design inquiry and application at the scale of the city for students and practitioners of architecture and landscape architecture. The program’s objectives are to consider the human condition, particularly in making signification urban places; design integrated systems of movement with increased accessibility; promote a greater mix of uses and amenities within a well-scaled urban fabric; foster new opportunities for energy production at the local scale; define new means of ‘greening’ the city; and capture greater senses of identity, meaning, and quality within the city fabric.
