The Master of Urban Development and Design applies design thinking in an urban context, to give you the skills to help shape everything from city-wide transport to new suburban developments, to university campuses and hospitals, shopping centres and more.

Becoming a great urban designer is now more important than ever.

As the world population increases so do the densities of our cities and suburbs.

Our global cities will require urban designers to help design great communities that assist in creating jobs,offer better livelihoods, manage growth and change, and improve social inclusion.
