Service-Learning in Design and Planning: Educating at the Boundaries

Urban planning and architecture educators challenge traditional community-university relationships by modeling meaningful and reciprocal partnerships. This collection of case studies by design educators critically explores the current practice of service-learning in architecture, landscape design, and urban planning, radically revising the standard protocol for university-initiated design and planning projects in the community. The authors' lively examination of real-life community collaborations forms a pedagogical framework for educators, professionals, and students alike, offering guidelines for a generative and inclusive collaborative design process.
