Part time Bachelor's Programs in Urban and Regional Planning 2023

We live in an urban world. Cities and city regions around the globe face pressing social and environmental challenges linked to the climate crisis, emerging infectious disease, global displacement and migration, and deepening inequalities and racial divides. But cities are also the places where solutions to these problems can be found. In Cities, Regions, Planning, you learn to apply inclusive and sustainable planning interventions, consulting skills, governance, and political procedures, and activist tools to manage urban growth (and decline), provide infrastructure, integrate newcomers, and mitigate environmental impacts. -

The purpose of the program is to provide students with advanced planning education covering all aspects of human settlement planning and sustainable development of the Built Environment that are needed by the professional Town Planner. The program is designed for those who intend to become professional town planners and who possess a good matric foundation or qualification. -

Urban and Regional Studies develops individuals who want to make a difference in their community: a difference in what happens to older neighborhoods in transition; a difference in what happens as new suburban communities are planned and built; and a difference in the lives and well-being of persons across metropolitan and rural regions. -
