In the five years between his graduation from Appalachian State University, where he earned a degree in sustainable development, and his enrollment in UNC Charlotte\u2019s Master of Urban Design program, Aspen Johnston explored a wide range of jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in Asheville, he was a sales representative for a beverage company, then worked as a landscaper (his degree had an agroecology concentration). Later, he drew upon dual interests in art and science to teach young children in programs at Roots + Wings School of Art and Design and the Asheville Art Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat started building all the blocks that led me here,\u201d he said recently, as he was completing final tasks before graduating on August 9. \u201cI started seeing that all the biases we see in this world, kids that age don\u2019t see it. There are so many things we could change if we addressed them at the root.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of years ago, Johnston began to consider graduate school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI looked at urban planning, art therapy (he had been volunteering with an art program for people experiencing homelessness), and then I discovered urban design. I realized that urban design made more sense for me. I\u2019ve always been a big picture thinker. If I become an urban designer, hopefully I can help shape a world that better addresses the conditions \u2013 housing insecurity, disconnected communities, mental health challenges, inequality \u2013 that lead people to seek out art therapy programs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The David R. Ravin School of Architecture\u2019s Master of Urban Design (MUD) degree<\/a> certainly trains students to look at the big picture. The rigorous 12-month curriculum draws from the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture, urban planning, real estate development, and data analytics to prepare students to work in the public or private sector to make towns and cities more livable. It is the only graduate degree program in urban design in North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou really do hit the ground running,\u201d Johnston said. \u201cIt can be really intense, but that\u2019s what you want when you only have a year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnston said he appreciated the fact that the MUD program is not limited to architecture graduates but welcomes applicants from any discipline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt caters to people from different programs and recognizes that people with diverse backgrounds makes the program stronger. I\u2019ve learned as much from my peers as my professors.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A key element of the MUD program is the summer study abroad experience. During the first Summer 2025 session, Johnston traveled to Taipei, Taiwan, with his MUD cohort and program director Ming-Chun Lee. It was his first time out of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really appreciated that they had this built into the program,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving the guidance of how to get there, how to navigate the place safely, and to go with Ming-Chun, who grew up in Taipei, was really great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Taipei, students were assigned specific sites \u201cto research and propose a design intervention that would make it more people-centric and improve the space,\u201d Johnston said. Given one of the oldest commercial streets in Taipei and an adjacent wharf, he proposed a \u201cbig, bold elevated park\u201d that would bridge the two areas and connect to public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning to Charlotte for the second summer session, students applied their newfound knowledge to the Queen City, considering what Charlotte might learn from Taipei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnston describes himself as an \u201cavid biker\u201d and was particularly impressed by the \u201cmultimodal transportation systems\u201d in Taipei.  \u201cI zoomed out and started studying the entire bike system in Taipei,\u201d he said, seeking ideas for how bike lanes in Charlotte might be more connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnston grew up in Charlotte in the University area, attending Northwest School of the Arts for middle and high school. He says the MUD program has taught him a lot about his hometown. While enrolled in the coursework, he also had a paid research fellowship with the Charlotte Urban Design Center<\/a>, where he worked with MUD alumni Charlotte Lamb \u201918 and Will Linville \u201921.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking at the Urban Design Center was amazing for many reasons,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving the opportunity to work with talented urban design professionals while exploring the ways policy plays a role in shaping a city allowed me to step into the professional workforce with tangible, lived experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving the opportunity to work with talented urban design professionals while exploring the ways policy plays a role in shaping a city allowed me to step into the professional workforce with tangible, lived experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The success of that fellowship is bearing fruit for future MUD students in two ways: The Charlotte Urban Design Center has committed to continuing the fellowship program for the upcoming academic year, and Johnston has been inspired to launch a mentorship program for MUD students and alumni. After working with Lamb and Linville, \u201cI wanted to find a way to curate a similar experience for upcoming students in the program,\u201d he said. He has already secured commitments from enough alumni to match each student this year with a mentor, \u201cto prepare them for the transition into the professional realm and enhance the experience that this year-long, intensive program provides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnston applied to positions across the country and would especially like to move to Portland or Seattle at some point. In the meantime he has accepted a job with the\u00a0City of Asheville as a planning technician. But he has not ruled out coming back home one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been a lot about this program that\u2019s helped me see Charlotte through a new light.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
