What does the city of the future look like?

In our multidisciplinary DISC: Design + Innovation for Sustainable Cities program, you’ll be part of an international cohort of students exploring innovative design-based solutions to urgent issues facing our cities, including climate change, urban health, and social justice. Through rigorous design studios, digital workshops, and seminars taught by experienced faculty and practitioners, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to imagine the sustainable and equitable cities of tomorrow. DISC is an immersive five-week program, designed for college students. We welcome and encourage international students to apply. No prior experience in design is necessary.
