Overview

We are living in a time of planetary crisis. Historically, the built environment has been a major contributor to this problem, but in the future, in a world that has already largely been constructed, it must be the site of profound solutions. Championing a reparative approach to the built environment, this Architecture and Historic Urban Environments programme offered at UCL strives to achieve an urgent and radical transformation, asking students to critically engage with the past to build a better future by rethinking, repairing, regenerating, and rejuvenating urban environments at all scales.

Using London as an outstanding laboratory for learning, students are encouraged to interrogate the past through a rigorous analysis of the present, identifying and addressing historical inequities – environmentally, racially, spatially, and socially – ingrained in the urban fabric and common to all cities.

Employability

Graduates of this course often go on to assume leading roles in varied disciplines engaged with historic and contemporary urban environments at all scales. The course is ideally suited for graduates seeking to widen their professional practice, enhance career prospects, or embark on new career trajectories in the built environment through design, public policy or advocacy.

With experience of different cities and urban conditions in a global context, graduates are highly skilled in working flexibly, collaboratively and resourcefully in different cultural, geographic and professional environments, either in the public or private sector.
