Seminar: Engaging in Urban Design

We are pleased to invite you to the seminar Engaging in Urban Design: collaborations between Academia, Practice, and Communities for Research & Teaching. This seminar aims to discuss collaborations across these spheres and to foster a dialogue between academics, practitioners, students and communities. See detailed schedule below.

This is the first seminar of the recently formed Urban Design Research Group at the Bartlett School of Planning. This research group aims to bring together academics and researchers interested in examining the theories, processes, practices, actors and pedagogies of urban design.
