UC Berkeley's Disc* (Design & Innovation for Sustainable Cities) is an intensive summer program focused on design-based solutions to wicked problems in the global built environment. Guided by UC Berkeley faculty, Bay Area urbanists, designers, makers, and entrepreneurs, DISC students will learn how to confront some of the most pressing challenges of global urbanization using innovative people-cent
