Planning for another decade of impact…
GCPE’s Urban and Community Planning, MS is updating its 10 Year Strategic Plan
We are re-envisioning the future of the program. Over the next six months, we will gather feedback from students, alumni, and community partners to shape the program’s vision, academic objectives, and action items.
The 2026 Strategic Plan is our compass for the decade ahead. We invite you to help shape this vision.
Our Process
The strategic planning process kicked off in March 2025 and will unfold over a series of focused phases. Our approach includes a community review feedback loop where Committee decisions are evaluated and discussed widely, at each step along the way.

Join Us This Fall
Stay tuned for fall programming! We will be hosting workshops, information meetings, open houses, and much more.
We Want Your Feedback
Your feedback will shape how we adapt to the rapidly evolving environmental and political landscape, to how we build a modern, adventurous, and multi-disciplinary learning environment. Please share your insights, experiences, tips, and more.
