Synopsis:
The book presents a participatory approach to teaching built environment subjects by exploring 12 examples of urban planning that engaged communities. It reviews curricula, teaching methods and connections with community co-researchers to present a distinctly urban praxis so that universities can respond to today's built environment challenges.
About the Authors:
Lucy Natarajan is Associate Professor of Urban Planning at the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London. All of her work centres on the interface between government and the public. She actively promotes wider engagement in urban decision-making, and her research and teaching span the gamut of strategic issues of planning – such as spatial plans, environmental/sustainability agendas, and urban infrastructures – where the involvement of the public is sorely undervalued. She is co-editor of the Built Environment journal, and Secretary General of Territoire Europe, an association focusing on sustainable practices and participatory urbanism.
Michael Short is Associate Professor (Teaching) of City Planning at the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London. He undertakes practice-based projects, teaching, and research in three main areas. Firstly, in how design issues are negotiated through the planning process and how they are implemented on site. Secondly, he's interested in the conservation and protection of buildings and areas of the recent past, and the challenges that this presents for practice. And, thirdly, he is interested in the debates about increased building height and density in environments where the historic environment and character of place are relevant. Furthermore, he is interested in queer pedagogies and the experiences of LGBTQ+ staff and students in higher education.
