The Master of City Planning core curriculum provides fundamental skills and knowledge essential for all planners, regardless of specialization, reflecting our innovative and hands-on educational philosophy. Graduates of the core program will grasp the legal and historical foundations of urban planning, master the use of demographic and economic data to analyze communities, and comprehend the spatial organization of cities and metropolitan regions globally. Crucially, they'll learn to identify the most effective planning strategies for different situations. The Urban Design specialization explores the relationship between a city's physical layout and the economic, social, and political factors influencing it. This track offers insights into various theories and techniques for enhancing urban spaces, covering subjects like visual communication, design history and theory, and the framework of development regulations and incentives. Urban Design graduates often pursue careers in municipal government or private design firms, creating plans for urban spaces, neighborhoods, public areas, streetscapes, and new developments.
