摘要

In the USA, studio-based urban design teaching has greatly declined in planning curricula following the drift of city planning to the social sciences and given the fact that studio pedagogy is expensive as well as other factors. This paper offers case-study insights on the planning curriculum at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo that, nevertheless, have sustained service-learning urban design studios in the undergraduate and graduate planning curricula. A survey of students' and clients' perspectives on such studios over a 20-year period, along with the authors' perspectives and experiences, indicates their pedagogical value and professional worth. This paper provides quantitative and qualitative insights from 20 years of experience on the merits of studio-based urban design education in undergraduate and graduate planning curricula.
