City Design MA

Royal College of Art

Embrace an interdisciplinary approach to creating new spaces. Benefit from our studio-based teaching, justice-oriented thinking, and transformative design approach. Explore urban design principles and practices, including policy, planning, and digital tools. Become part of a community advocating for environmental and spatial justice. City design is more than just designing physical structures. It’s about how we live together, work, and move. And, at a time of multiple crises, we need to design not just practical responses but reimagine the future. Studying at a leading art and design college, you’ll be perfectly placed to do exactly that. Some students study with us to specialise, but this programme is also a great chance to broaden your expertise or pivot your practice. We’ll help develop your technical skills and use digital tools while learning how to communicate your ideas. You’ll go beyond designing in and for cities and drawing plans by thinking about the institutions that guide them in the process.
