Planning a Sustainable World

Catalog description

This course tackles the big challenges we face when imagining and building the places where we live. In addition to exploring today’s most pressing issues through engaging readings, we jump into solving real-world problems. You’ll explore topics like how to make sustainable development fair for everyone, how to create affordable housing, and how to design land use and transportation systems that actually work together. Plus, we’ll examine ways to grow local economies and build cities that are not just livable, but truly sustainable, drawing on ideas like new urbanism and neo-traditional planning.
