The work summarized in this book was undertaken
for a course at the School of Community and
Regional Planning at UBC. The course was
entitled Theory and Methods of Urban Design
and it covered the fundamentals of urban design by
inviting students to apply theory to neighbourhood
design. The course surveyed major historical and
contemporary trends in urban design theory and
practice, and introduced contemporary theories on
the future forces affecting the development and
functioning of urban regions. Students discussed
cities at multiple scales and applied their evolving
understanding to neighbourhood scale development
in the Marine Drive Station Area in Marpole,
Vancouver. This book presents
the weekly progression of designs with summaries
of the design interventions and critiques. The final
outcome represents weeks of deliberation, discussion,
and incremental growth towards a neighbourhood that
is responsive to the anticipated challenges of climate
change, peak oil, increased and aging population, and
the need for complete healthy walkable communities.
