Abstract: This article explores the importance of collaboration in urban design education as a response to the climate emergency. The authors argue that urban design plays a crucial role in addressing the effects of climate change on cities and environments. They present two case studies that examine different forms of collaboration in architectural curricula, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary approaches and engagement with stakeholders. The article highlights the importance of training students in collaborative methods and incorporating diverse perspectives in architectural education. It acknowledges the challenges and limitations of collaboration but emphasizes its potential for empowering students and fostering transformational knowledge. The authors conclude by calling for changes in urban design practices to address the climate emergency and prepare future generations of urban planners and architects. [Extracted from the article]
