About this course

What will I learn?

The Graduate Certificate in Urban Design provides students with a preliminary overview of the discipline of urban design and an introduction to its core principles, theories and practices. Students graduating with the Certificate would be familiar with the basic characteristics of urban design but would not be understood by the market as ‘urban designers’. The Certificate course aims to provide a ‘top-up’ qualification to professional practitioners and graduates of related fields or an introduction to Urban Design for graduates from unrelated fields.The Graduate Certificate in Urban Design typically is comprised of these three units: Forces that shape Cities (URBD 5807). In this unit students examine key factors that have shaped urban form throughout history including the economics, politics, culture and the arts. Sustainability and Cities (URBD 5803). This unit defines the key sustainability challenges facing cities and outlines the suite of initiatives being implemented to manage the transition to sustainable urban development.
