Urban Planning
Urban planning’s terrain is the built environment and the public interest. Urban planners are concerned with the interaction between people, the places they live in and the policies and plans that shape sustainable cities and liveable communities. Urban planners work to positively influence environmental sustainability, economic innovation and social equity in urban centres.
To become an urban planner:
Step 1
Undertake an undergraduate degree in any discipline.
Step 2
Choose the Master of Urban Planning at Melbourne.
