Ethical Urbanism

Through immersive (AR/VR) technologies and field-based learning, students experience urban change and apply the principles of sustainable urban development to our changing city. Together students are asked: How can we build a future city that is open to our different desires and needs? How do our neighbourhoods articulate with wider visions of urban sustainability and inclusion while keeping in mind the economic needs of a growing city? What does it mean to be a green city? How do we produce a more ethical urbanism?
