Due to the rapid pace of Bangkok's urbanisation other neighbouring provinces, including Pathum Thani, have also grown. Two urban design projects focusing on Thanyaburi district in Pathum Thani are included in the exhibition "Transforming Thanyaburi: Creative & Innovative Urban Futures In Pathum Thani" on view at 6060 Arts Space. "Transforming Thanyaburi" was created by Thammasat University students from the Urban Design & Development International Programme (UDDI) at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning.
The first project in "Transforming Thanyaburi" was created by sophomore students in the course UD223 Urban Intervention Studio in which they analysed and developed strategies to improve the urban conditions of Thanyaburi district. The other project was created by third-year students in the elective course UD351 Creative Cities which was divided into two parts -- the design of a creative city in Thanyaburi district and the design of a gaming simulation to promote public engagement.
