Abstract "Showcasing first-hand experiences of educators in the field, this insightful book presents a comprehensive overview of urban design pedagogy. Chapters provide detailed accounts of syllabus planning and delivery processes, suggesting innovative strategies for advancing the evolving field of urban design through education. Hesam Kamalipour and Nastaran Peimani reflect on personal, in-depth case studies illustrating the challenges and opportunities of teaching urban design. Covering broader aspects of programme organisation and leadership, the authors also discuss individual modules ranging from theory and research methods to studio-based workshops. The book explores the future of urban design teaching and learning, drawing on lessons learned from global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasising the need for educators to adapt to evolving pedagogical landscapes. Addressing a significant gap in existing literature, this book is an indispensable resource for students and academics in urban design and a useful reference for those in related fields such as architecture, planning and urban studies. Urban design educators, learners and programme directors will also benefit from its research-informed guidelines"-- Provided by publisher.
