The range of topics covered includes: the history of cities and urban life, issues of public art and urban design, Modernist utopias of the city of the future, urban landscape and contemporary theories, and practices of urban planning. Students develop a working understanding of Toronto, both as an urban built-form and as a social community. In order to develop documentary and analytical research skills, students undertake research in archives, libraries and public institutions for class presentation and essays. |
