This course aims to provide students with both the skills to conceptualise a sustainable city and the ability to design one. The city in the twenty-first century faces major challenges, including social and economic stratification, wasteful consumption of resources, transportation congestion, and environmental degradation. Through a series of lecture and laboratory classes, students are expected to understand these issues and propose solutions toward a sustainable city development. Specifically, students should have a theoretical understanding from a diverse range of disciplines including sociological, environmental, political and economic theory. Students learn knowledge of key disciplinary areas including urban design, spatial planning, property development and ecology. Students acquire the aptitude to enable implementation such as creative thinking, negotiation, project management skills, and advocacy.
