UPD5002: The Inclusive City

The Inclusive City planning studio focuses on social and community planning and design issues with the primary challenge of creating people-centred cities. This year's studio focuses on the social, spatial, and economic dimensions of inclusive city planning through the lens of industrial lands and their surrounding communities. Can we plan new industrial estates to be more economically inclusive and environmentally sustainable? How can planning mechanisms for land use, built form and environmental performance help adapt industrial areas to support ongoing changes in employment? How can planners create more affordable and diverse spaces for industrial activity, suited to a range of existing and emerging employment types?
