The Master of Resilient Urban Design (MRUD) is designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills to navigate the ever-changing complexities of rapidly growing metropolitan regions.

The program is founded on an issues-based, teamwork model wherein students engage in issues and ask questions based on a design-thinking foundation, enhanced with methodologies and processes from multiple disciplines.

The MRUD program prepares individuals to engage with complex cultural, market and government policy forces through sustainable and resilient urban forms.

Inclusive of sustainability and cities' abilities to help sustain diverse environments, cultures and economies locally and globally, resiliency also implies the ability of a community to anticipate and recover from present and future challenges.

As such, the MRUD program seeks to envision not only humane and ennobling places now but to ask 'what if' questions about the city and urban systems as a whole.
