Overview

Key facts of the Urban Design Engineering programme of Aalborg University:

In urban design, we lay the city on the drawing board – both in theory and in practice. You will work practically and theoretically with urban, architectural and mobility theory. You will gain experience with both analogue and digital methods of analysis, design, and communication.

You learn:

to sketch and model on paper and digitally
to involve citizens and ethnographic perspectives
to use tracking and simulation technologies.

You and your fellow students become part of a dynamic and research-based learning environment with group work, courses, lectures and exercises.

You go on excursions and research trips, collaborate with design studios, municipalities and other actors and get involved in current research projects. You also get professional inspiration and the opportunity to network when we organise seminars, open lectures, exhibitions, and the annual Urban Design Day.
