ABSTRACT
The professional urban planning program at Université du Québec à Montreal (UQAM) was founded in 1976. From 1993 to 2007, a program based on learning the theoretical and practical notions of urbanism was developed around the Praxis studios. The objective is to study the pedagogical approach of the project organized throughout the whole academic year. The questions are as follows: In what context is the project developed? What is the content and what methods are used in the design approach? What are the results? Ten recommendations for enhancing urban design teaching and learning are used to answer these queries.
