Program Description:

Our City Planning programs focus on the growth and development of neighborhoods, cities, regions, states, and nations; its practitioners help shape communities and environments in response to the needs of their citizens. Our program has an explicit commitment to blend theory and practice. In addition, we have a fortuitous location in a university whose commitment to urbanism is visible, in a city that is large and dynamic, and in a region that displays an extraordinary range of urban/suburban/rural conditions. We share the mission in Penn's School of Design that educates leaders, not only in city and regional planning and its subfields, but also in architecture, landscape architecture, historic preservation, fine arts and urban design. The MCP program includes a core curriculum covering planning history, theory, methods, and law; and five concentrations including Community and Economic Development, Land Use-Environmental Planning, Public Private Development, Sustainable Transportation and Infrastructure Planning and Urban Design.
