课程特征 Course Features：
UDSU has been running the MSc Course in Urban Design since 2006. The Course has recently gained accreditation from the Royal Town Planning Institute as a Specialist Course.
This course is designed for both practitioners and students to enhance the understanding of the city as a complex and dynamic system and to advance the skills of practical urban design. While the focus is on physical planning and the design of urban spaces and buildings, the various influencing factors are also carefully considered. The major topic is the European metropolis, or city region, within the context of globalisation. The Department and the course have an established partnership with Glasgow City Council which enriches the programme with challenges and realism.
课程内容 Course Content ：
The course is delivered through studio work, lectures and seminars and a piece of research carried out by the student. The studio involves work on the urban design of a complex urban area, including the levels of the entire city, the neighborhood and the individual public space defined by urban architecture. Lectures and seminars, delivered as compulsory and optional taught classes, normally run over two and a half days to allow for flexible booking by CPD and part-time students ,and cover the following topics, relevant to the studio’s design project:
>> typology and architecture
>> economics and real estate
>> politics and policy
>> building laws and design codes
>> transportation and infrastructure
>> landscape and recreation
