Department of City and Regional Planning

Parent Unit: College of Arts & Sciences
Mission/Description
The Department of City and Regional Planning is one of the largest, oldest, and best known programs
of graduate planning education and research in North America. It was founded in 1946 to demonstrate
the practical application of social science methods to problems of government and the interdisciplinary
union of social science, design and engineering. It was the first planning program in the nation with its
principal university base in the social sciences rather than in landscape design or architecture. It has
retained and strengthened its legacy while expanding the breadth and depth of its programs to include
a full range of graduate planning study.
