Graduate Study in City Design and Development
City design and development
is practiced in diverse venues, subject to political, economic, and
environmental pressures. Accordingly, the Joint Program in City Design
and Development seeks ways to provide exposure to a wide array of
professional challenges and emphasizes hands-on multi-disciplinary
subjects that give students the opportunity to study theory while
developing skills in practice.
Students in CDD are mainly drawn from the Master of Science in
Architecture program and the Master of City Planning program where
students may choose to specialize in City Design and Development.
However, the program also serves a wide array of other students drawn
from other programs and departments at MIT and in the Cambridge community.
Curriculum
Students
who specialize in CDD must fulfill the core requirements of their
professional degree program, and then assemble their own set of
additional subjects with the aid of an advisor. Students pursuing the
Urban Design Certificate must choose from a specific set of subjects and
meet special requirements described in detail below.
Subjects offered by faculty associated with the Joint Program in City
Design and Development are listed under Course Listing.
The table also indicates typical subjects selected by students focusing
in different areas of study.
