URBAN DESIGN TRAINING PROGRAM 2013
The DPCD’s Urban Design Training Program offers courses that introduce planners and designers to the principles and methods of urban design, essential for the creation of liveable places.
The program which is delivered through PLANET (PLAnning NETwork) provides specific urban design modules to broaden the skills and knowledge of participants.
