Department of Urban Planning

As communities continue to evolve through development and population growth, instead of reacting to these changes, communities are choosing to control their own fate through planning. That’s where you come in. As an urban planner, you can help communities chart their future growth by helping them prepare socioeconomic and physical design plans.
