The Landscape Urbanism (LU) programme leads to either an MArch (16 months) or an MSc (12 months) degree. It explores the role that design and designers – from architects and landscape architects to urban designers and planners – can play when confronted with the processes, landscapes and territories of planetary urbanisation (metropolitan areas, rural environments, infrastructural and productive landscapes, etc) and the environ-mental, racial, socio-economic and health-related crises they have triggered. Planetary urbanisation is structured by an economic model based on policies, legal frameworks, political decisions, social and cultural contexts and engineering solutions; design inputs are either left out altogether or consigned to the fringes.
