Abstract:

This paper aims to revisit the experience of urban design education in the US. Six universities (Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, New York, University of Pennsylvania and University of Washington, Seattle) are chosen as cases, investigated in program patterns, organization, curricula, pedagogies, and outcomes. With inducing effectiveness and experience, suggestions are given on China’s improvement, including types of programs and degrees, organization, curricula system, pedagogies, combining teaching with research and leading the practice.
