Urban and Regional Planning is an interdisciplinary course that focuses on designing, managing, and developing cities, towns, and regions in a sustainable and organized manner. It combines elements of geography, architecture, environmental science, economics, sociology, and public policy to create livable, efficient, and resilient urban spaces. The course explores land use planning, transportation systems, housing development, environmental management, infrastructure provision, and economic development strategies. 

Students learn about planning theories, urban design principles, zoning regulations, and spatial analysis tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). They also study how to balance economic growth with environmental conservation and social equity. The course emphasizes strategic decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and policy formulation to address urban challenges such as traffic congestion, inadequate housing, pollution, and climate change.

Practical applications include designing master plans for cities, developing regional growth strategies, revitalizing deteriorating urban areas, and managing natural resources. Through fieldwork, case studies, and policy analysis, students gain hands-on experience in solving real-world planning problems. Career opportunities for graduates exist in government agencies, private consulting firms, real estate development, environmental organizations, and international institutions focused on sustainable development.
