Urban and regional planning is a profession that shapes the places where people live, work and play. Planners aim to improve the social and environmental fabric of cities by creating vibrant, healthy and equitable communities, and by facilitating sustainable transport, infrastructure and growth. How we plan our cities and regions today will profoundly affect future generations in a climate-changed world.
Innovative in its approach to understanding contemporary social, urban and environmental issues in urban and regional planning, the Bachelor of Planning focuses on recognising the social and cultural diversity of places, and the importance of cross-cultural approaches to research, plan-making and impact assessment. It will not only prepare you for a career in planning in which you have the power to shape more liveable and sustainable futures, but will also give you a distinctive edge among your peers.
