| The
design and research
activities of the
UDC create a powerful
platform for urban
design education –
offering students
hands-on, service
learning experiences
and opportunities
to work directly with
communities and practising
design professionals
on significant current
projects. To capitalize
on this unique educational
environment, the UDC
and its partner universities
have developed the
first multi-disciplinary
graduate program in
urban design in Western
Australia.

In
addition to the formal
academic program,
the UDC is developing
introductory courses
in urban design to
assist councillors,
municipal CEOs, Design
Review Board members
and community advocates
participate more effectively
in local design debates.
We are also interested
in introducing urban
design ideas and an
awareness of neighbourhood
quality to primary
and high school students,
encouraging lifelong
engagement in the
design issues of their
communities.
