Elective: Contemporary issues in Urban Design
Undergraduate
Description
This elective creates a different image of the city by the use of experiential mapping techniques. This imaging and mapping process forms the basis of investigating the state of ’Spatial Equity’ as a fundamental right within the context of Sydney.
Students in this elective acquire the role of community residents and responsible citizens rather than researchers to map lived experiences in a quantifiable manner. They thus not only understand the difference between ‘Equality’ and ‘Equity’ from a socio-spatial context, but also embark upon a journey to understand the city as a ‘mosaic’ complete with its own social, spatial, and economic identity. Students engage in place-based mapping using creative techniques such as Data Walks, three-dimensionally visualise and find interdependencies between disparate datasets using tools such as Kepler GL and engage in visioning exercises using Google Jamboards to develop critical policy suggestions to achieve spatial equity.
