PLA 1516 H1F : Planning and Designing for Community Power
Course Description : This course examines how planning and urban design can help create alternative futures that centre community control and power.

And in turn, how this has tangibly affected planning and design outcomes and processes. Students will be invited to deconstruct this history to understand what anti-capitalist planning and design could be in relation to land and property.
