2025 UNSW BEIL 6010
UNSW Cities Institute Sydney Urban Lab City Making Cities
Cities drive economic, social, and innovative growth, but face challenges like social equity, environmental impact, and rapid demographic shifts. Issues such as planning, governance, housing, transport, public spaces, and climate resilience require collaborative and interdisciplinary solutions.
The UNSW Cities Institute Sydney Urban Lab - BEIL 6010 - will be held in T3C, 2025, and is an intensive studio course that tackles urban challenges through case-based research, group work, and design interventions, often with international universities.
Our past topics include Windsor's Thompson Square, Hawkesbury River floodplain, and Parramatta's Lancer Barracks.
In 2025, students will collaborate with peers from Waseda University and Tokyo Metropolitan University to study a major public site near Sydney CBD with historical context, public domain debates and commercial significance.
Numbers are limited for the 2025 offering.
