Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject you will be introduced to the theory, concepts and practice of planning and urban design as an historical development across the world and with a particular focus on historical and contemporary Australia. These developments are studied in the context of progressive planning and architectural movements such as the city beautiful and garden suburb movements and the rise of new urbanism as a design reaction to post WWII suburbs. You will access the role and function of community-based movements on planning and design against the development of legislation and government policy seeking to promote good design. Using case studies, fieldwork and practical work, you will develop skills assessing the key elements of cities and understanding key elements of design.
