Undergraduate
The Bachelor of City and Regional Planning is an eight-semester program. The structure of the undergraduate program has been shaped to contribute to students’ critical thinking in the face of problems on the basis of community benefit and the right to the city, by enabling them to see holistic relationships, helping them grasp the spatial changes at different scales and the social, economic, political and environmental dimensions of the processes that shape urban and rural areas and regions.
