Programme Overview
Help Shape Better Cities and Communities
Urban and Regional Planning is the art of coordinating land-use
development for the social, economic and wider public good.
The discipline combines urban design, spatial planning, housing,
transport, environmental considerations and development policy to
help communities grow in an organised and sustainable way.
Planners can work at local, regional and national levels, helping to
make decisions about how land, infrastructure and communities should
develop over time.
