Overview

The Urban Planning Course offers a curriculum for both undergraduate to graduate school students that includes urban planning, urban design, and urban analysis programs targeting various scales of the city such as urban areas, cities, districts, and city blocks.

In the graduate school, we have had three programs held in various types of urban areas in Tokyo since 2017, with each program taking different approaches to planning. A group of 10-20 Japanese and international students each chose one topic for their assignment and took part in group work conducted in English.

In recent years, there have been three types of assignments; activity or place-based design and management of an urban center (A), data-driven planning (B), and landscape design as a climate change strategy (C). Previous works can be seen here.
