Urban and regional studies (URS) examines the complex interplay of physical, social, economic, and political elements that influence urban environments. This field explores how planning addresses evolving challenges like migration, climate change, demographic shifts, sustainable energy, traffic issues, green spaces, housing insecurity, and pollution, among others. As a URS student at the University of Lethbridge, you'll develop skills to tackle modern urban development issues through multiple perspectives.
