Master of Urban and Regional Planning

Urban planning offers significant and diverse opportunities to solve the complex problems of communities and to shape their built environments. This profession is uniquely dedicated to the quality of life affected by place, to visions and policy consequences that extend beyond the near term, and to problem-solving that relies on multiple disciplines. Learn about what we teach and how you will learn.

It’s exciting enough to think about designing a visually appealing building or landscape, restoring a historic structure, or creating a plan for urban development. But our work is more than that—it reflects the needs and priorities of societies and the planet itself.

Architects, landscape architects, and urban planners must develop spaces that are environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable—places that are healthy, affordable, and enriching for people to live, work, and play.
