Urbanism

Urbanism is the study of cities and the historical development of their built environment. Urbanism can take many forms, often adopted as part of a planning philosophy such as “New Urbanism.” Urbanism courses on Planetizen Courses will introduce you to urban planning philosophies and ideologies and their theoretical underpinnings.
