This multidisciplinary program is designed to introduce students to the processes of planned change in urban environments. Urban Studies provides a core of urban-planning courses involving field studies, planning projects, and the acquisition of technical skills. Complementary courses in Sociology, Political Science, Economics and Geography provide the necessary approaches and understanding from which to consider complex urban development.
This program is designed for students interested in policy analysis and public administration, which require a broad background in Urban Studies. Students acquire analytical skills using computer mapping and geographical information systems (GIS) and learn to assess urban landscapes, architectural heritage and transportation risks. All courses involve the development of analytical skills useful in a great number of work areas.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
