Why study planning?

Career Opportunities

Urban and Regional Planning emphasizes the creation of directed change within communities to address critical problems. It uses placemaking as a component of sustainability to help identify physical and social directions for communities. It builds on plan-making -- critical inventory and analysis of the natural environment, the built environment, transportation, urban design, and community development.

Planners work in the public sector dealing with comprehensive planning, land use regulation, and transportation management; and in non-profit organizations involved in community problem solving. There is also an expanding need for planners in consulting firms, land development companies, and large corporations.
