Introduction to Australian Urbanism University of Sydney - Direct Enroll Program Spring 2025 Semester Design Thinking - Sydney

This unit of study introduces students to the foundational role land plays in urban development in Australia. This includes studying land management and city development over time. Students examine the evolution of the built environment professions in Australia in relation to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal land knowledge, law and practice. On the successful completion of this unit of study, students will demonstrate an understanding of: different land management and city building practices; how built environment practices and city making dispossessed Aboriginal people of their land; and the implications of this city building history for contemporary built environment policy and practice in Australia.
