    Course Description

    This course aims to establish an understanding of how political, socio-economic, and environmental triggers can shape the design of cities and places this understanding within the context of Karachi. The development profile of the city is explored through the themes of  urban equity and inclusivity, and the Human Centered Design methodology is used to apply the key aspects of urbanism to Public Space Design and Urban Mobility. Discussions on how to incorporate an inclusive and participatory planning process to include the issues of gender, equity and climate change, help establish an understanding of sustainable city design.
