  • CMP 4415: Urban Dsgn Fundamentals

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    In this course, students will gain an introductory understanding of key theoretical foundations of urban design, developing their capacity to evaluate and critique projects, policies, and places. The course has three major pedagogical objectives. First, through readings, lectures, and discussions, students will explore the current discourse, building their understanding of urban design and examining issues the urban designer faces from client needs to site analysis to program development. Second, students will build spatial, visual, and graphic literacy necessary for all planners, developers, and designers: how to read a drawing, how to draw a street section, how to evaluate a proposal against design standards, basic building construction, and how to write a design guideline. Finally, students will develop a design consciousness and ability to recognize both city-level structure and project-level details. Students will uncover these details through hands-on learning, site visits, and observation. Prerequisites: 'B+' or higher in CMP 3270 OR Instructor Consent

  • CMP 4420: Neg & Dispute Resol

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Conventional legislative, administrative, and judicial means of resolving policy- and decision- making-related disputes in the public sector often produce less than satisfactory results. It is therefore not surprising that planners, policy-makers, developers, and environmental and justice advocates who are concerned about the fairness, efficiency, stability, and wisdom of public sector decision-making are searching for better ways of resolving public policy conflicts. Fortunately, recent advances in the theory and practice of negotiation and dispute resolution have great promise for supporting more collaborative and effective public sector decision-making and helping all involved parties meet their needs. This experiential course is designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students with no prior background or experience in the fields of negotiation or dispute resolution. Lectures, scenarios, case studies, and role-play simulation will be used to introduce students to the art and science of negotiation and consensus building. The class also provides an intensive opportunity for each student to build his or her individual negotiating capabilities. Occasional guest lectures by practitioners may be included to provide an opportunity for students to test some of the theoretical ideas presented in class against issues that arise in practice. This course builds on decades of research and work conducted by partners of the inter-university Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School (PON) and the MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program.
