Urban Design at UC Berkeley

I earned my Master's degree in City Planning at UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design, with an emphasis on urban design. This is what studio looked like. I loved it. I studied under Elizabeth Macdonald, Paul Waddell, and Peter Bosselmann.

My thesis was quantitative analysis of the relationships between urban design and property values in 38,000 neighborhoods across 50 US cities. Its findings indicate that moderately dense, fine grain neighborhoods with a mixture of uses have risen in value far more rapidly than their less human-scale counterparts.
