RED 512 How Cities are Built
The next generation of city builders must address important questions about how American cities can be more vibrant, livable, inclusive, and sustainable. These questions touch on topics such as diverse housing options, feasible and resilient infrastructure development, and inclusive and vibrant public realm, among others. This course will explore the interplay of design, economics, and policy to address these difficult questions. Students will learn an interdisciplinary approach to solving city-scale challenges and pursue semester-long projects that address real-world challenges facing cities in the Raleigh-Durham region. Throughout the semester, students will be introduced to the roles and responsibilities of various parties and disciplines that engage in the design of cities, and the various economic, political, and social forces that shape communities.
