Urban and regional planners use concepts from economics, social justice, urban design and ecology. They propose strategies to develop and enhance urban, suburban, regional and rural communities. The Urban and Regional Planning degree program at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is focused on studio-based teaching where you'll develop applied policy, research and communication skills. You'll gain real-life experiences through client-based studios and field research projects. In addition to an optional co-op, you'll have options to participate in placement or internship electives. You may also choose to pursue an international exchange program. Upon graduation, you'll understand communities' needs, structures and rules as they relate to the environmental and equitable use of land and resources. You'll be ready to advise on planning decisions related to social, economic, environmental, cultural, land development and transportation issues. |
