Planning Practice & Research, 2012, vol. 27, issue 4, 475-494

Abstract: Studio courses are one of the main pillars in urban and regional planning pedagogy. However, most emphasis is given to plan making and not to plan evaluation. This article examines an instructor's initiative at leading an advanced urban planning studio on plan evaluation. The methods included extensive literature reviews, analysis of course syllabi, and an examination of teaching methods and students learning outcomes. This article presents lessons learned and recommendations. The key finding is that teaching an urban planning studio on plan evaluation can help to acquire higher order skills, literacies and competencies.
