During this project the students will explore the notion of the sustainable city in relation to the context of the present 21st century global cities. Our present knowledge, experience and notions of urban design will be tested and challenged in respect to the dynamic and fast changing urban environment. The comparasion between global vs swedish context will be emphasized in terms of changing economies,
new technologies, urban form and dynamic between global and local culture.
In this course the students will learn to test and implement the knowledge and tools gained in the previous courses to develop proposals for sustainable urban space at a more advanced level. A particular project site will be chosen for the development of the design proposals. Students will test their proposals at various scales: neighborhood, local, regional and global.
