UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO

About UIC College of Urban Planning and Policy, City Design Program The Master of City Design (MCD) program is offered by the Department of Urban Planning and Policy (UPP).

UPP’s mission is to conduct radical and engaged scholarship that contributes to promoting just, resilient, and livable neighborhoods, cities, and urban regions. The MCD program extends this mission through its distinctive and intensive studio-based socio and ecological curriculum at the project, city-wide, and subregion-scale urban design promoting just cities.

The Master of City Design (MCD) is an intensive graduate degree focuses on the built environment and addresses pressing racial, spatial, and climatic inequality issues in Chicago. Students learn how to plan for the physical design of cities using spatial and systems thinking that combines analyses of places, meaningful engagement with diverse communities, ecological needs of the changing climate and non- human species, design knowledge across scales, and justice-centered approaches to city design. Hands-on field based studio learning provides immersive exposure to integrated, interdisciplinary design approaches and professional practice in urban places across Chicago. Our diverse and interdisciplinary curriculum integrates urban design with climate science, community economic development, environmental planning, public policy, and transportation equity. This approach leverages UIC’s location in the center of a major global city where MCD addresses critical challenges such as: climate change, housing crises, and spatial and racial inequality through reparative approaches that redress harm and promote just, resilient, and inclusive communities.

MCD provides an immersive learning experience through field-based studios, design charrettes, and engagement with local place-based organizations, progressive design and planning firms, and institutional civic engagement partners. Working collaboratively, students codesign community engagement to inform plan making, and built environment design solutions from the ground up.

MCD studios look at issues holistically, foregrounding coexistence. The planet’s environmental challenges are reflected in the everyday lives of humans and other species in neighborhoods, cities, and urban regions. Systems analysis is critical to developing integrative, inclusive, and adaptable design thinking for Chicago’s future. Students research strategies that reestablish healthy urban ecosystems and habitats, reconnect fragmented prairies and waterways, and pursue a balance of humans and nature.

MCD offers curriculum that examines the affordable housing crisis and aims to offer design and policy solutions that support healthy and inclusive communities, collective land ownership, community wealth building, equitable transit oriented development, and development without displacement.

Think Like a City: A Framework for Remaking Places (Spring 2024) This studio focused on the long-range future of the Illinois Medical District, a large, 600-acre medical district, two miles west of downtown Chicago. Students researched the +100 year evolution of the district, its traditional land use patterns, the urban renewal shortcomings of the mid twentieth century, and the identification of strategies for the next 50 years to repair and strengthen the role this District plays in Chicago. Students collaborated closely with the Illinois Medical District client team to develop a collection of strategies, which redefined the settings for the existing medical institutions and medical schools while exploring the blurring of the edges of the district with surrounding, established neighborhoods.

Special emphasis was placed on the transformation of the district into a more mixed, livable, community serving environment, which integrates placemaking and reparative planning.

*University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign (UIUC) students can enroll through the Intercampus Registration Program: https://www.uaps.uillinois.edu/student_programs/intercampus_registration

Option 2: 16-week fall or spring program for UIC students Option 2 is open to all UIC students for the 16-week fall or spring sessions. Register at my.uic.edu

Option 3: 5-6 week summer program for non-UIC students OVERVIEW

Programs for International Partnerships (PIP) is dedicated to assisting the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) in developing educational programs for students worldwide while expanding UIC’s international presence. PIP develops and supports programs that are academically excellent and that enhance UIC’s global reputation as an academic and professional development destination.

PIP will coordinate the 5-week summer Chicago Charrette for nonUIC students. Students will attend on- campus in-classroom studio for a maximum of 15 hours per week. Time spent on off-campus site visits, professional visits, and social / cultural events is not subject to a maximum number of hours per week.

28

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO

Students will be encouraged to live on-campus in the ARC residence hall. This has demonstrated to be the more cost-efficient option for students for our populations. This option requires a meal plan to allow students to eat on-campus. Students, however, will have the option to choose other locations for their stay such as Tailor Lofts, UIC Guest Housing, and local hotels that offer discounts to UIC. PIP will assist students in locating housing for the program.

Based on the information from the most-recent Charette schedule, there are 21 on-campus/in-class meetings and five site visits. This is subject to change based on the needs of the partners and their academic calendars.

CHICAGO CHARRETTE OVERVIEW

TRANSPORTATION

MEALS

PIP will arrange for airport transfer as the start and end of the program. Participants will be encouraged to travel as a group, when possible. If students arrive individually, transportation will also be arranged by PIP.

PIP will host the participants and Charette and PIP staff to welcome and farewell lunches. Other meals will be at the participant’s expense.

Students will be required to purchase CTA transit passes to be used to travel to site visits, as well as for their personal use during their stay. This expense was not included in the budget breakdown below.

However, as PIP has done in the past, we can purchase the passes for the participants and add this cost to an updated budget.

Group transportation, such as vans or buses, can be arranged for long-distance site visits or social/cultural events. These amounts are not listed in the expenses below.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Following the program, participants will be awarded a “Certificate of Completion” signed by the Vice Provost for Global Engagement and Head of Urban Planning and Policy.

PIP will host the students to one social/cultural activity each week of the Charette. In the past, this have included the Architectural River Cruise, events in Millenium Park, visits to the beach, visits to Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago, and outlet mall shopping. PIP will survey the group to see if there is a particular event of interest and make arrangements, when possible.
