Urban Design for Planners 1 - Introduction

Urban design is typically taught at American universities as a two or three year program, but instructor Emily Talen believes it can much more accessible. In fact, the tools used to communicate urban design concepts and interventions-Google Earth, GIS, SketchUp, image manipulation-are free, easy to learn, and transformative. With our knowledge about planning principles and the design of place in hand, these communication tools fundamentally change who can claim the role of urban designer. This introduction, part of an eight course series exploring essential urban design concepts through free, open source software, equips planners with the tools they need to participate fully in the urban design process.
The video course introduces the open source software you’ll use throughout the series to create analytical maps, 3D models, and 2D graphic designs. You’ll learn how to download the software, the basic tools and functionality of each program, and how these skills can contribute to the design process.

This is a fantastic initiative. I greatly appreciate your work. It's my dream to become an urban planner and I think now I can make my dream a reality. Thank you very much, ma'am.

I don't know how much i can thank you I am studying architecture 3rd year and i have been frustrated by my university's poor education as in they don't teach in a clear manner but instead just throws assignments without direction, your method looks clearer.
