\"Spacing<\/h2>\n

In 2013, the world passed a threshold. Over half of the world’s population of 7 billion people now live in cities. The continued population growth and an unrelenting migration from rural areas will pour another 5 billion people into cities by 2060. However, if current demographic trends continue, global population will stop growing at about the same time. Put simply cities will grow at unprecedented speed for five decades – then stop growing at all. Thus, the cities of 2060 might be the cities of 2160, and 2260. What form will this, new and possibly permanent, city take? At least two distinctly different directions have began to emerge: concentrated and dispersed city patterns.<\/p>\n

In the first year of the new UBC Master of Urban Design program<\/a>, students will seek to understand how these patterns affect cities. The studios intend to explore their variants, and re-combinations, and how the attributes of these two patterns might increase livability, economic, and social vitality, and indeed the long term sustainability of cities.<\/p>\n

Annual Theme and Forum<\/h3>\n

Each year, the Masters of Urban Design program will revolve around an urban design theme determined by the chair and studio faculty. At the end of the program, an internationally notable forum will be hosted. The theme for 2014\/15 is\u00a05 Critical Decades of City Building<\/a> (pdf)<\/p>\n
