Young Urban Planners

Young Urban Planners A place for aspiring urban planners (and others that are interested in the field) to network and share ideas. Urban planners plan for the future of urban areas.

URBAN PLANNING IS A PROFESSION that offers a wide range of opportunities for people with many different talents and aspirations. Yet, unlike the occupations of doctor, architect, lawyer, or engineer, the work of the urban planner is not well known to people outside the profession. The name of the profession, “urban planning,” is straightforward and descriptive. But this literal description of the work of an urban planner only scratches the surface of the role of urban planners. Planners work to ensure that cities have what they need to grow and prosper, including:

-Places where people can live

-Places where employers can build shops, offices, and factories

-Transportation facilities (roads, rail, airports, and seaports)

-Clean water for drinking and washing, and systems for managing waste

-Places where people can recreate (parks, open space, athletic facilities)

-Places where people want to be

-Community development

-Supplies of energy
