These 28 case studies analyse projects that have been short-listed for or received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The five sets of case studies are of projects that are related respectively to education, housing, public urban spaces/ environments, public buildings and natural and built environments. The case studies may be used as part of wider studies of human life, behaviour and actions, and their impacts, across time, place and space, as well as to reflect on ways in which the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development may be realised. Through the case studies, learners are encouraged to connect theoretical learning to the on-the-ground realities and form a deep understanding of their own context and its interconnectedness with the rest of the world. Learners may be thus inspired and empowered, as they engage with real-world projects, to become ethical leaders who achieve positive and sustainable change that can transform our world for the better.

What a great set of resources! We are in the process of working on our own neighbourhood plan in the NE of England. The examples, ideas and questions posed in these resources are directly transferable to stimulate the debate required to ensure everyone from the community is involved. Thank you!

Superbly researched and presented resources. The case studies are varied and interesting, challenging and thought-provoking - and all free!

It's not very often that top notch resources are made available FOR FREE and this set of materials is outstanding. For those of you working within the IB framework, the way these case studies walk you through the tasks is a fantastic way to develop the students' global understanding as well as the teacher's grasp of what an IB education is all about. Highly recommended.
