What will students do?UrbanPlan is an immersive, energetic and thought-provoking workshop for 6th form students, introducing them to the exciting world of urban regeneration.
Students form property development companies to regenerate a city centre site. Simulating real-life, students work through fi nancial, design, ethical and environmental challenges in order to create a fi nancially viable scheme comprising a mix of commercial and residential uses. Once designed, their fi nal challenge is to present their ideas to a specialist panel (built environment professionals) and receive expert feedback.
This is an interactive, exciting and competitive session, in which each student is allocated a role and is challenged to contribute. They will develop their employability skills and receive individual mentoring from built environment industry experts.
Easy-to-use multimedia resources will be available which include a teachers’ toolkit, templates & 3D models for pupils to work with as well as briefi ng fi lms and software packages.
“One of the people who was there was actually Head of Design. So they were talking about how they deal with other people when they’re working… cool to get a sense of how it is.” – Student
