With a focus on creating more equitable and resilient cities, the program connects planning knowledge with practice and prepares graduates to become impactful practitioners across public, nonprofit, community, and private-sector settings. Faculty research and teaching engage with pressing urban challenges, with a strong commitment to applied and community-engaged planning practice.
