A qualification in urban planning will give you specialised knowledge and an understanding of how cities and sites are constructed, physically and socially.
Urban planning and design are essential to underpin good social, environmental and business outcomes and enable liveability in cities. Professionals in these disciplines apply critical thinking and expertise to manage and inform our urban places and meet the challenges of growth.
Objectives of strategic place-making and the integration of land use with transport and infrastructure, as part of the dynamic fabric of a city, are some of the mandates that lead to improvements in people鈥檚 lives.
We offer a variety of programs to equip you with specialised knowledge in strategic planning, design of public spaces and the spaces between buildings.
