In our capstone planning studios, students collaborate in teams to tackle real-world planning problems and hone their knowledge and skills. In the fall semester, our students tackled some of the most pressing urban challenges facing Atlanta, such as urban design for new developments, enhancing underutilized spaces, and climate change planning. They are guided by two experienced instructors: Aaron Fortner, a principal at Canvas Planning Group, an urban planning and design consultancy; and Jairo Garcia, senior advisor on resilience and sustainability at the Atlanta Mayor’s Office, lead author of the Atlanta Climate Action Plan, and UN-Habitat regional curator for North America. In the spring semester, our students traveled to Puerto Rico (with Professor Alberto Fuentes) and Japan (with Professor Perry Yang) to apply their knowledge at international settings.
