Class Details

This interdisciplinary course introduces the theories, approaches, methods, and legal framework of environmental planning and provides students with experience in the planning and design process through project work in the Berkshire region. The first part of the course introduces the students to planning literature through analysis and discussion of case studies. The midterm project is an urban design exercise. In the second part of the course students tackle an actual planning project. Small teams of students (3-4), working in conjunction with an experienced community member “client,” and under supevision of the instructor, conduct a planning project, using all the tools of an environmental planner. The project work draws on students’ full range of academic work, extracurricular interests and activities, and applies interdisciplinary knowledge and methodologies. The course includes several student presentations and culminates in a public presentation of each team’s planning study and a project report. This course also includes field trips, town meetings, interviews, survey work, and computer mapping labs.
