MA Urban Design and Planning

London South Bank University

This course focuses on urban design as part of town planning, giving you the opportunity to develop your understanding of urban design and development issues through working at different scales of the city and engaging with theoretical debates. ‘Planning’ is both a design and public policy profession. It deals with design as a professional and a democratic practice, showing how professional knowledge and deep engagement with communities are both essential if places are to achieve lasting functionality and liveability. Our academic staff have expertise in a range of planning related fields and are all research active with a strong track record in national and international research networks, projects and publications. Live project working integrates projects and site visits with theoretical debates, inspiring you to think about the characteristics of good places and equipping you to make a critical contribution to shaping those places.Full-time1 yearSeptember
