The Master of Science in Sustainable Urban Planning is a 2-year full-time taught postgraduate programme organised by the Department of Geography and Resource Management. The
programme is structured with spatial and specialism planning components, focusing on the social, humane, ecological, smart and sustainable dimensions of urban planning.

  • Our programme focuses on the social, humane, ecological, smart and sustainable
    dimensions of urban planning. We will be closer to mainstream urban planning
    programmes overseas that pay more attention to issues surrounding climate crisis,
    environmental degradation, socio-economic polarisation, health and well-being.
  • Our Programme will be more social science-oriented and inter-disciplinary in
    nature. It creates synergy with urban design, landscape architecture,
    geoinformation science and smart cities. Our students will have plenty of
    opportunities to co-learn with fellow students in different disciplines and various
    stakeholders outside the university to resolve various urban issues in a
    comprehensive and holistic manner. This is something few planning schools can
    offer in their curriculum.
  • The objectives of the Programme is to train urban planners who are competent in
    analysing the multi-scalar and multi-dimensional spatial development challenges
    and developing context-sensitive ‘planet, place and people friendly’ solutions
    through inclusive and creative planning processes.
