Doctor of Philosophy in Urban and Regional Planning - Real Estate and Economic Development

The doctoral (Ph.D.) program in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning educates scholars to teach, conduct research, and carry out service that contributes to a better understanding and shaping of resilient communities and ecosystems in order to promote human capabilities, social justice, sustainable livelihoods, and community health and safety. Our faculty conduct research in the following areas: Planning for an Aging Population, Planning for Health and Resilient Communities, Transportation Land Use and Accessibility in the Modern City, Sustainable Communities, Collaborative Environmental Management, Community Neighborhood Change, and Human Settlements and Institutions in the Context of Global Change. Florida State University is an excellent place for doctoral study. Our energetic, internationally recognized faculty is committed to training and mentoring our doctoral students as they become future teachers, scholars, and leaders in their various fields. Our low student-faculty ratio and small doctoral class sizes (typically 3-5 students enter the doctoral program each year) enable close collaboration in teaching and research between students and faculty. Our doctoral program’s alums include deans, department chairs, program directors, distinguished scholars, and a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners’ College of Fellows.
Real Estate and Economic Development specialization focuses on the ways in which public sector interventions and planning strategies can be leveraged to attract private investment for responsible and equitable economic development. We aspire to develop and implement economic development strategies that will enhance the quality of lives for existing and future community members.
