This experiential learning course encourages students to view the city as a classroom and gain knowledge through lived and shared experiences. It explores how the public realm has been prioritized over private vehicle space to achieve benefits such as public comfort, health and well-being, safety, and enjoyment. The course examines how urban design elements, urban form, and active transportation components are integrated to support these goals. Students will experience human-centered urban design first-hand through innovative public works, pedestrian streets, plazas, urban playgrounds, parks, and amenities, as well as bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure.

The course takes place in Amsterdam, one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, serving as a model for what is possible in other cities globally.
