Overview

The Master of Urbanism, Landscape and Planning (MaULP) is a four-semester academic program, focusing on multi-faceted and -scalar issues of contemporary urban development. The programme serves a small group of select international candidates with advanced design skills or an equivalent background related to urbanism and/or planning.

 

Cities and settlements are under extreme pressure. Social and environmental inequity is sharply on the rise. Urbanism, spatial planning and intervention in landscape systems are in urgent need of renewed approaches. New strategies must be developed to not only tackle social exclusion, unequal distribution of resources and spatial contradictions, but also be inspired by the multiple and (trans)cultural expressions of worldwide urbanisms.

 

The programme develops a critical understanding of the contemporary conditions of settlements, cities and urban regions. It introduces students to innovative concepts and strategies for qualitative interventions in urban territories through projects, plans and policies across different scales. It offers three possible specializations: urbanism, planning or landscape.

The MaULP programmes is supported by a number of partners across the globe.

 

Every year, partner co-production reinforces the unique and distinctive trait of the programmes, namely that of an integrated approach to urban development that finds its best expression in the design studio where real-world problems are tackled. These intensive and shared design experiences are jointly organized on site as a way to balance fundamental and applied knowledge and scientific distance and engagement within a research-oriented approach. In addition, the programmes have developed a number of synergies with the associated research groups of the program (OSA, P&D and L/A/P) and their post-doc and PhD students.
