Why study this programme?
Cities are complex, dynamic systems influenced by a myriad of stakeholders. Urban planning requires more flexible approaches that recognise the complexity of cities and embrace urban sustainability and the open-ended aspects of urban development processes. Strategic planning is an approach that seeks to guide instead of control development. In this programme, you will gain the qualifications to become an urban professional specialised in strategic urban planning and policy analysis.
Career prospectives
Graduates will learn to assess socio-spatial dynamics in a city, identify and engage with stakeholders in a collaborative planning process, and develop creative solutions for complex urban problems.
