Networked Urbanism Networked Urbanism was a series of studios in the Urban Planning and Design Department at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design taught between 2010 and 2014. The Networked Urbanism studio aimed to bring network-design thinking to the forefront of design disciplines, and strove to solve real-world problems on the ground, providing an alternative to the traditional approach of designing urban environments from a bird’s-eye view and a single designer’s perspective. Networked Urbanism not only examined the physical dimension of the city, but also its social processes and fluxes, developing initiatives that generated spontaneous transformations and set up conditions for change. The Networked Urbanism studio provided the framework for students to pursue their own interests, find their own means of expression, and create their own paths. They were encouraged to work with others, to create connections, and to search for new problems and opportunities that underlie our society, visibly or subtly. Overall, they were expected to explore the city and design new tools to creatively improve urban life.
