Urban Development and Design

The one calendar year MUDD program involves two academic sessions of study plus a summer semester. The Program includes a compulsory International Urban Design Studio working with universities and/or planning agencies in a major city of the world. Each year students are given a choice of two cities – in the past five years, the Program has undertaken urban projects in Buenos Aires, Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Delhi, Tokyo, Budapest, Hangzhou, Istanbul, Nagoya and Madrid.

The International Urban Design Studio is the final experience of the Program, which involves the deployment of knowledge and skills in an intense two week workshop in a totally new city and new culture, combined with critical reflection on this experience, design development and documentation back in Sydney.
