Practicum: Residential Planning in Global Cities

As the world’s urban population grows towards six and a half billion by 2050, cities all over the world are resorting to the mass- production of residential super-blocks to address new urban housing demands. But is this model appropriate for all cities, regardless of their environmental, social, political and economic differences?

This seminar will provide students with a hands-on opportunity to understand how planning code regulations - specifically residential codes - can shape the design and functioning of future urban neighborhoods. Through the lectures, readings and projects students will be exposed to an array of different residential zoning systems from around the world.

Students will work in teams to document case studies of existing regulatory systems from a selection of global cities chosen for their distinctive residential developments. Based on what they learn in the seminar, students will also have a chance to explore their own ideas about how regulatory codes can address the new challenges ahead that come with unprecedented urban expansion. Because this seminar integrates topics of planning, design and real estate, students from all GSAPP programs are invited to join if interested.
