Town Planning
Urban design and planning strategies that shape livable communities, housing, and public spaces.
Town planning encompasses the design and organization of urban environments, from neighbourhood layouts to housing models and public infrastructure. Designers working in this field address how communities grow, adapt, and function at the scale of streets, blocks, and districts.
The community explores adaptive housing typologies, social infrastructure integration, sustainable townhouse models, and participatory design processes that engage residents in shaping their neighbourhoods. Projects range from co-design initiatives and cultural revival to dense urban infill and agricultural landscape preservation.
