Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on the evolution of the curriculum of urban design at the Faculty of Architecture of Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (Poland). Urban Design is one of the many courses that future engineers in the program of Architecture and Urban Design participate in. Urban Design is an important subject, it deals with land development and the organization of public space. Several dozen study programs, project topics and form of classes were analyzed. The teaching of Urban Design was juxtaposed with changes taking place in post-war cities, trends and planning documents. The research results allow us to see the current state of urban design education and in what direction it is evolving.
