Urban planning and development
Why are these studies worth choosing?
Do you want to shape the spaces we live in? Are you interested in how cities, neighborhoods, and public areas are designed to serve people and the environment? Urban planning is undoubtedly a profession of the future—combining technical knowledge with creative thinking, spatial analysis with care for quality of life, and drawing from diverse disciplines such as engineering, architecture, ecology, sociology, and law. It is urban planning professionals who decide how our cities and public spaces will look—both today and in the future.
If you’re interested in shaping the environment around us, have spatial imagination, think strategically, and want to make a real impact on the development of sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing spaces—Urban Planning and Development at VIZJA University may be the perfect program for you!
The Bachelor’s (Bachelor) degree in Urban Planning and Development prepares students for a career as urban planning — specialists who design spaces with people, the environment, and the future in mind. During the course of your studies, you will gain interdisciplinary knowledge in urban design, city planning, spatial analysis, environmental protection, spatial economy, and construction law. You will develop practical skills in working with GIS tools, 3D modeling, and creating planning documents, and you will understand what sustainable design truly means—so you can help build spaces that are human-friendly, efficient, and resilient to climate change.
What can you do after graduation?
You may pursue work in architectural and urban planning studios, development and investment companies, or public administration—especially in departments focused on spatial planning, land use management, regional development, or urban revitalization. You will also be a strong candidate for roles in international organizations dealing with urban planning and city regeneration, as well as companies specializing in spatial data analysis and urban modeling. Or perhaps you’ll choose to contribute to the development of tools and processes that support the Smart City concept? The possibilities are in your hands!
