ARTH 150 History of Urban Design

This introductory course examines how cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas are designed and developed. We will explore historical episodes and actors that have influenced urban planning so that we may then consider the ways in which contemporary architects, developers, and institutions approach urban concerns related to land development, the environment, housing, and transportation.
