Urban scale explores how designers and architects approach the relationship between buildings, neighborhoods, and cities. Projects at this scale consider how individual interventions connect to broader urban contexts and how modular or adaptive systems can respond to changing urban conditions.

The community examines modular city frameworks, mixed-use developments that integrate living and working spaces, adaptive renewal strategies, facade interventions, and site-specific insertions that negotiate between architectural detail and urban presence.
