The aim of this article is to present the main assumptions about design studios as held in the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology (FA-GUT), Gdańsk, Poland, adapted to the development of key competencies in the urban planning of complex urban structures. One of these competencies is the design of public spaces. The main goal of the studios was to deliver knowledge of the role of public spaces in the design of complex urban structures. During the studios, students learned the need for a systematic approach with various specialists in improving the quality of urban structures. An overview is given of the findings from the urban design studios held, as well as the competencies gained by students. The major conclusion is that teaching the ability to design public spaces connecting urban structures gives students opportunities to better understand complex urban circumstances, as well as offering new challenges in urban planning
