This course will survey urban planning, including urbanism, the history and mechanisms of planning, special/current topics in planning, and planning theory through the lens of the Historic Preservation and Community Planning Field. We will focus on contemporary sustainability issues including the environmental crises we face, the issues with social equity which are endemic in our society, and the need to generate a sense of community in the built environment. Hands-on experiences will include researching and/or developing a model for “Community Built” action that might influence development in the City of Charleston today.
