Are you passionate about making cities more livable, equitable, and sustainable? Do you want to create healthy spaces for people of all generations and backgrounds? Do you want to help decarbonize cities and help them adapt to a changing climate? Are you concerned about congestion, gentrification, displacement, and the lack of affordable housing?

Consider a field that starts with people and unites policy, design, economics, environment, and society: Urban Planning! Planning students learn how and why cities function, strategies to transform cities, and skills like design software, economic modeling, and facilitation. Develop your career in government, the private sector, or with non-government agencies helping communities in the U.S. or abroad.

Faculty from seven different planning and urban design programs in the New York region will share what makes their programs unique.
