This course demystifies the language of urban design to improve planners' confidence in dealing both with urban design issues and designers. Urban design is about creating rather than regulating. To assist the creative process, various tools are available including urban design frameworks and urban context reports. There are also good design principles with a long history of application in delivering successful urban outcomes.

The course covers what urban designers do, provides an urban design vocabulary, presents urban design as an inclusive and collaborative process and provides a ‘hands-on’ application.

The afternoon session is a practical workshop in small groups. This group work is then analysed and discussed before a local architect provides a view on how the site can work.

Designed for

Anyone looking for an enhanced understanding of urban design and those dealing with the design aspects of planning scheme applications and amendments.
