What is Urban Planning?

Describing the field of urban planning in a world full of "party plans" and "life planning" can be challenging. This video sheds some light on the subject and defines urban planning as a professional discipline focused on the future.

Tough challenges—like climate change, housing affordability, and congestion—require a more incisive understanding of the role of urban planning. After developing a definition of urban planning, this video describes the fundamental intersectionality of the discipline and related professional fields.

A better understanding of urban planning can be the beginning of a more impactful and positive role in your community, your city, and your world.
