Urban and regional planning is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on designing, managing, and improving cities, towns, and regions to create sustainable, functional, and livable environments. The course covers a wide range of topics, including land use planning, transportation systems, environmental sustainability, housing development, and economic growth strategies. Students learn how to analyze spatial data, assess urban challenges, and develop policies that balance economic, social, and environmental interests.

The course incorporates elements of geography, economics, sociology, political science, and environmental studies to address urbanization issues and regional development. It also emphasizes the role of technology and data-driven decision-making in planning processes, such as the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and urban modeling tools.

Through theoretical learning and practical applications, students gain skills in policy formulation, project management, and stakeholder engagement. The curriculum often includes case studies, fieldwork, and community-based projects to provide hands-on experience. Graduates of urban and regional planning programs can work in government agencies, private consulting firms, non-profit organizations, or international development institutions, contributing to urban sustainability, infrastructure development, and public policy planning.
