Overview
Prioritising environmental systems and climate resilience for sustainable development.
The Monash Indonesia Graduate Diploma of Urban Design builds towards frameworks for the development and delivery of climate resilient, community engaged and technologically astute precinct plans for Indonesian cities via the translation of high level strategic planning strategies into regional integrated spatial plans.
Real world projects
The course will adopt a transdisciplinary framework, by forging a coalition of government and industry partners and by deploying complementary disciplines to train highly strategic urban professionals.
The project-based course will use the spatial plan as the tool for integration of a range of interdisciplinary offerings, facilitated by Big Data, and data science platforms and through a significant process of co-design and community and stakeholder engagement.
Design studios are not predetermined, instead they are shells to accommodate changing content based on consultation with government and industry partners, and on the project requirements of the spatial plan at hand.
The studios will be complemented by key disciplinary inputs around key themes such as ecology/health, data science, community engagement and regulation/policy.
Flexible study options
The Graduate Diploma of Urban Design may be taken full time or part time, with units delivered via a combination of face to face and online modes.
On completion of the Graduate Diploma of Urban Design you may progress to the Master of Urban Design.
Graduates who complete the Master of Urban Design will be equipped with the conceptual, creative and technical skills to develop integrative solutions to the complex urban challenges resulting from climate change, environmental degradation and development inequalities.
Multidisciplinary participants
The course is open to applicants from relevant backgrounds, including graduates of architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture.

Part B. Smart city design24 credit points
The handbook's description of this structure
The course comprises design studios, undertaken in project mode and in collaboration with real local government agencies, and supportive study units that provide knowledge of urban design and planning contexts, regulations and techniques, including mapping tools, AI & data analytics.
The course is structured in two parts: Part A. Foundation and Part B. Smart City Design.
Part A. Foundation
You will undertake a foundational design-based studio unit that introduces you to this project mode as well as urban design methods from a perspective of climate resilience. It is supported by a history of the discipline in practice, and study units that provide a grounding in the ecological frameworks of the city and data science for smart cities.
Part B. Smart City Design
The studio component is based on smart city design concepts, with reference to real world issues. In the study units, you extend your knowledge of ecological frameworks and data science for smart cities (Big Data analytics) while also learning about the Indonesian statutory planning context.
Entry points
Depending on prior qualifications you may receive entry level credit (a form of block credit) which determines your point of entry to the course:
- If you are admitted at entry level 1 you complete 48 credit points, comprising Part A and Part B
- If you are admitted at entry level 2 you complete 24 credit points, comprising Part B
