| Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to develop students' knowledge of theories and the history of urban development. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; -Understanding urban/city typologies of different historical periods -Comprehension of the impact of social and cultural changes on urban space in specific historical periods. - Understanding the relationship between human behavior, the natural environment, and the design of the built environment. - Effective reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. |
| The course explores the social, cultural, economical, environmental factors that shape cities. The ideas, theories, and innovations that create unique aspects of cities are discussed through examples from past, present, and future. The examples from the periods of Ancient Greek, Roman, Renaissance, Baroque, Modern, and Post Modern are analyzed. The ideas about futuristic cities are also discussed. |
