The New Zealand Planning Institute ® is pleased to announce the return of this two-day training event on urban design. The goal of the training is to create more informed clients and consumers of design, and an understanding of the individual’s role in creating better urban form with tools to help influence these outcomes. The programme has been revised based on feedback from previous participants, with a stronger focus on implementation tools and techniques.
The course provides an introduction to the principles and methods of urban design in a contemporary New Zealand context. It identifies a series of design issues commonly encountered within New Zealand towns and cities, and it provides conceptual and practical tools which can be used to address these. It does not produce 'trained' urban designers but it augments the skills of practising professionals from a range of disciplines so that they are better able to assess design proposals and consider the implications of design decisions.
The training is a mix of presentations, discussion sessions,
workbook exercises and group design exercises - and we draw on
local case studies and information wherever possible to ensure
the relevance of the material. Cross-disciplinary discussions
and group work emphasize the interactive nature of urban design
practice and thinking.
