Overview

The Architectural Design - Urban Planning course from Adelaide University allows you to explore the history and scope of urban and regional planning in a global context.

You might design a new living estate to meet the demands of a growing regional area. You could work with community groups to ensure sacred sites are protected while championing future growth. Perhaps you might lead the creation of the next smart city, providing invaluable data insights, planning knowledge and meaningful solutions that balance sustainability with urban development.
