URBAN ECOLOGIES

The Master in Urban Design at the University of Sheffield seeks to establish innovative modes of practice involving ideas of collaboration, participation, resilience and distributed agency within intersecting ecological and social processes, and to investigate which approaches might allow for rethinking the role of both designers and citizens in the processes of city-making. The course is underpinned by a desire to critically examine the key urban development challenges that cities are facing today: urban inequalities and ecological crisis. The two studio themes: Urban Inclusions and Urban Ecologies, explore these challenges from different but complementary approaches.

The Urban Ecologies strand focuses on balancing our relationship with the environment to respond to climate change and environmental inequality. We look for an alternative approach to the current urban development models that helps to bridge the gap between environmental and social needs. This approach will depart from a layered understanding of landscape and ecology as a set of dimensions that encompass physical, social, cultural, economic and political conditions.
