Master in Urban Planning - HOUSING, COMMUNITY, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

This Area of Concentration is for students interested in the planning, development, and regulation of housing resources and their surrounding neighborhoods. Planners who choose this concentration may envision themselves working in the public sector as policymakers, program administrators, or development facilitators or in the non-profit or for-profit sector as developers, community activists, or consultants. These students are interested in shaping the part of the built environment that provides the setting for the city?s residential and closely related functions.

Because housing is a vital social and economic element of the city, a wide range of courses is relevant to this work. Concentrators may choose to focus on aspects of the work as diverse as housing policy, market analysis, physical design and planning, real estate finance, the development process, community engagement, implementation strategies, and regulatory regimens. Neighborhoods are complex parts of the metropolitan environment, requiring a wide range of skills. This element of the concentration may include work on many of the topics listed above and land use regulation, urban design, demographic and economic analysis, local politics, and related disciplines such as transportation, infrastructure, retail and social networks.
