Thinking about a career helping communities thrive? Want to help promote affordable housing, walkable and connected transportation systems, decarbonized and resilient cities, and reparative and inclusive places? This is the work of urban planning – a career that opens doors to government agencies of all kinds and levels, private industry, and nonprofit and community organizations locally and around the world.
Are you passionate about making cities more livable, equitable, and sustainable? Do you want to be a part of creating thriving places that are healthy for people of all generations and backgrounds? Do you want to help decarbonize cities and help them adapt to a changing climate? Are you concerned about congestion, gentrification, and displacement; the lack of affordable housing; and creating fairer processes of deciding what is built, where, and for whom?
Then you should consider a career in urban planning, a unique field that brings together policy, design, economics, environment, and social processes! Planning students learn about how and why cities look and work the way they do, policies and strategies to shape and transform cities, and skills like GIS, design software, economic modeling, and facilitation. Start or build on your career in local, state, or federal government agencies, in the private sector, or with non-government agencies helping communities within the U.S. or abroad.
Come join us for the FIRST-EVER virtual open house of all 8 planning schools in the NYC region. We’ll hear from alumni about why they got a graduate degree in planning and how it’s changed their careers. We’ll also explore what makes each program unique with program chairs and directors. New York City can become your classroom! Start your search here, then attend a future program-specific information session to get more details.
