Learn how to create beautiful, lasting places

Have you ever wondered why we’ve stopped building the places people love?

And have you ever wanted to learn more and struggled to know where to begin?

You’re not alone.

The kinds of places people naturally gravitate toward- places with character, walkable streets, vibrant public spaces, and beautiful architecture- are more needed than ever.

And yet…

…surprisingly few schools teach how to create them!

The knowledge is scattered across books, online lectures, and planning courses around the world.

It can't be found all in one place, and it is almost never communicated in a way everyone can understand.

That’s why we created this course.

It’s an introduction to the timeless principles of citymaking, bringing together essential knowledge under one roof.

Presented with beautiful footage shot around the world, and with various animations to communicate ideas clearly and intuitively.

We’ve collected all the relevant knowledge under one roof, making it more accessible than ever.

Our goal: To empower a new generation to confidently shape a more beautiful, lasting, and meaningful world.

Join the course and become part of the movement.
