Urban Sociology
FLDHow cities function as social systems and how design shapes urban communities and public life.
Urban sociology examines the relationship between built environments and social structures in cities. It considers how architecture and urban planning influence community dynamics, accessibility, and quality of life for diverse populations.
The community explores social housing models, commons spaces, agricultural integration, and alternative urban ecosystems. Projects range from dense residential developments to infrastructure-adjacent public spaces and sustainable living habitats that prioritize collective wellbeing over individual consumption.
