| Sumario: | <p><em>Engaged Urban Pedagogy</em> presents a participatoryapproach to teaching built environment subjects by exploring 12examples of real-world engagement in urban planning involvingpeople within and beyond the university. Starting with curriculumreview, course content is analysed in light of urban pasts, race,queer identity, lived experiences and concerns of urbanprofessionals. Case studies then shift to focus on techniques forparticipatory critical pedagogy, including expanding the'classroom' with links to live place-making processes, connectionsmade through digital co-design exercises and student-led podcastingassignments. Finally, the book turns to activities beyond formaluniversity teaching, such as where school-age children learn abouttheir own participation in urban processes alongside universitystudents and researchers. The last cases show how academics haveenabled co-production in local urban developments, trainedcommunity co-researchers and acted as part of a city-to-citylearning network. Throughout the book, editorial commentaryhighlights how these activities are a critical source of supportfor higher education.</p><p>Together, the 12 examples demonstrate the power and range of anengaged urban pedagogy. They are written by academics, universitystudents and those working in urban planning and place-making.Drawing on foundational works of critical pedagogy, they present adistinctly urban praxis that will help those in universitiesrespond to the built environment challenges of today.</p>.
