• Resumen

  • This essay presents an alternative to the traditional pedagogic model for urban design doctoral education where, as found in the humanities, individual students work solo, advised by a small faculty committee. Derived from the sciences, the alternative model integrates the student into a collaborative, multidisciplinary research laboratory setting, which provides access to the now extensive geospatial data on the built environment and on a range of behaviors. After apprenticing in spatial data analysis, individual students advance selected aspects of on-going lab research projects. The alternative model expands urban design thinking to research on salient issues faced by today’s cities.
