Future Trends in Planning
The eighteen students in the Bachelor of Urban Planning (BUP) capstone have been asked to identify future scenarios for Cincinnati and its region, formulating specific policies and/or spatial strategies/dynamics for the next 25 years. Each project focuses on issues selected by the students (individually or in teams) to envision and describe how to organize, re-organize, aggregate, or superimpose new elements onto the city and the region. The issues the teams explored were described in the American Planning Trend Report for Planners and in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The final capstone projects define, plan, and (re)design urban morphologies while proposing new programs and systems that integrate community well-being and economic resilience into comprehensive projects. Some teams are composed of students from different programs, such as the Bachelor of Urban Studies and a few Horticulture students.
