The course focused on the regional plan of Beijing and particularly on the districts of Yizhuang, 
Mentougou and 
Shunyi.
After decades of uncontrolled expansion, nowadays Beijing is suffering from constant congestion and the natural degradation of its metropolitan region produces increasingly frequent sand storms and important problems of water shortage or flooding, depending on the seasons.

课程主要研究北京的区域规划，地段位于亦庄区、门头沟区以及顺义区。
几十年以来无节制的城市扩张，使北京饱受诸如交通阻塞、自然环境恶化等城市问题，在不同季节，日渐频繁的沙尘暴、干旱、雨水洪涝等问题极其严峻。

Recently the government responded to this critical situation with the approval of a new regional plan that includes the creation of a green belt around the fifth ring as a way to stop the sprawl and regenerate the landscape and the implementation of a new polycentric model.

针对日益严重的环境问题，北京市政府通过了一个新的区域规划方案，其中包括一个围绕五环路展开的绿化带，一方面阻止北京城区“摊大饼”式继续蔓延，一方面则致力于修复景观生态系统。

In such plan, various existing urban centers located in the surroundings of Beijing would be strategically converted into independent cities with the aim of developing an autonomous economic agenda the could help decongesting the city centre. The students explored the areas of three of these future cities, analyzing their current natural and economic conditions and proposing a new large-scale sustainable organization.

同时，该规划方案将引导多中心的都市圈的形成：北京多个业已成形的城市副中心将逐渐发展为相对独立的卫星城市，形成更加自制、自由、灵活的城市经济模式，并缓解北京城市中心的压力。学生将选择三个未来卫星城进行观察研究，分析他们现有的自然、地理、经济条件，并提出新的更可持续、更有效的城市组织模式和空间构架。
