Future Cities focuses on climate resilience of the built environment on the urban scale. In Future Cities, students explore global concepts of urban sustainability and ecological design and combine mitigative and adaptive strategies for urban landscapes in the age of anthropogenic climate change. Students apply a participatory mixed-methods approach to map, diagram, model, draw, and visualize project outcomes, research findings, and data through various media.
