Overview

The aim of urban planning is to sustain and enhance the quality of life in cities and regions. Therefore, in addition to technical skills, students also acquire a broad liberal education that leads to an understanding of the natural and social environments, their problems, and their potential for enriching human life.

Key Features

The Policy and Planning degree at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign emphasizes skills in analysis, problem solving, and communication within complex urban and social contexts.
