City Design is aimed at an emerging generation of architects and allied design professionals interested in the convergence of new social, technical and spatial innovations, and harnessing their potential to generate alternative forms of urban life. Urban life is experiencing momentous change around the globe with new emergence of social groups, populations are ageing, family units are extending and dispersing, work is becoming casualised and whole communities have moved online. At the same time, dangerous new social divides are appearing on the periphery of cities between different cultures and different generations. Teaching methods include an intensive series of seminars, lectures, workshops and symposia that cultivate new and experimental approaches to the discipline.
