COMMUNITY BUILDINGUrban Design Certificate

Effective place-making and place-keeping is both an art and a science. Designing places that combine sustainability with beauty and function is the urban design challenge of this century—but it’s attainable. An alliance of architecture, landscape architecture, planning, civil engineering, and a host of other disciplines will allow our cities, towns, and villages of all sizes reach their full potential.

In this applied professional program, you’ll take an interdisciplinary approach to Canadian urban design issues by studying the economic, social, and

environmental considerations involved in sustainable urban design. You’ll also enhance your visual communication skills and choose electives in transportation, urban revitalization, the public realm, integrated neighbourhoods, and more.
