Urban Design Courses

Urban design courses can help you learn site analysis, spatial planning, community engagement, and sustainable development practices. You can build skills in creating inclusive public spaces, integrating green infrastructure, and understanding zoning regulations. Many courses introduce tools like GIS software for mapping and visualization, as well as design software for drafting urban layouts, that support translating concepts into actionable plans.
