Master of Regional Planning - Community Development and Cultural Preservation

The graduate programs in regional planning allow you to integrate studies of the physical, environmental, social, cultural, economic, and political facets of planning at all scales and densities: urban, suburban, small town, and rural. The practice-oriented MRP degree prepares you for a professional career promoting sustainable development as the balance of ecology, economy, and equity achieved through a participatory planning process. The research-based PhD is ideal if you are interested in a career in academia or in research roles in public agencies or private organizations. Plans and designs gain meaning when they represent the needs, dreams, values, and goals of those who will use them. Courses within this specialization focus on social, political, and cultural analyses of the built environment, explore different social and cultural responses, analyze policy, planning, and design criteria for building more responsible urban forms, and intervening in discriminatory practices. Topics of study include domestic and international analyses of cultural heritage and diversity, housing policy, urban development and land use, urban form and design, and social change.
