About the course

The Master of Urban Design (M.U.D.) degree is open to students with professional degrees in architecture, landscape architecture and urban and regional planning. The M.U.D. is a breeding ground for urban design experimentation, approaching urbanism through multiple scales of inquiry with studio projects prompting both analytical and speculative design work related to regional infrastructure and territory, urban housing, public-private development, urban governance, landscape processes, urban technologies, climate change, resilience, and civic space.The studio-based curriculum consists of a set of three urban design studios that position design as the central discipline of urban transformations. The studios are complemented by seminars on urban finance and development, theories and methods of urban design, policy and urban governance, and the humanities. Adding to the offerings in the Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning programs at Taubman College, students can advance their personal academic interests taking full advantage of courses in other units across campus. The M.U.D. degree involves travel to a variety of national and international destinations to bring students into direct contact with the communities for whom they will be designing. In their field studies, students exercise their critical thinking skills and cultivate cultural competency as well as a more nuanced examination of local conditions and building practices.
