Innovative Housing and Urbanism in the Netherlands

What's so extraordinary about Dutch housing and urbanism? Travel there this spring to find out -- and get continuing education credits!

The College of Design's School of Architecture and Continuing Education office offer a seven-day travel-learn opportunity for professionals in conjunction with a May Term 2008 course for students. Organized and hosted by Professor Julia Robinson, participants will stay in Utrecht's city-center, tour architecture and landscape sites, and engage in dialogue with Dutch professionals and students as they compare Dutch and American approaches to housing and urban design, sustainable planning, and development. Explore the national transportation system by bicycle, bus, and train. Field trips and seminars led by Dutch professionals will provide over 30 continuing education hours, as they answer the question, "What is so extraordinary about Dutch housing and urbanism?"
