Well over half of the world’s population will call a city home by 2050[1]but whether these cities are both livable and resilient will largely depend on the technical and creative skills brought to the challenge by today’s emerging experts in urban planning and urban design.
For cities and towns to continue to grow, many of the key decisions needed to successfully respond to change are happening right now, showing the demand for more skilled professionals in this field.
The online Master in Urbanism is aimed at candidates from a non-urban planning field, the multidisciplinary learning allowing professionals to change careers. It is also ideal for professionals who want to strengthen their current skills by engaging in up-to-date and groundbreaking planning approaches.
Professor Heather MacDonald, a planning scholar and associate dean of UTS’s Faculty of Design, Architecture and Construction, believes that the ability to negotiate solutions among many competing stakeholders (neighbours, environmental advocates environment, real estate developers and local businesses) and to invent new solutions to complex conflicts is one of the main skills that planners need.
“Planners need to be able to gather and analyze different kinds of evidence to weigh the outcomes of alternative decisions and support better-informed public debate,” she said.
UTS Online helps students find practical approaches to urban planning in many different fields. Students in the university’s online course also learn to apply their analytical skills to determine constraints and opportunities, thereby improving their ability to plan strategically. ??

This is why universities like UTS, one of Australia’s leading online institutions, are seeing their Masters in Urban Planning Online Course as the best way to prepare professionals for the future.
