Creating the spaces where people live and work.


Built environments play a significant role in how we function as groups of people – suburbs, towns, cities, societies.  Additionally, there is growing concern about how we respond to the natural environments within which all human activity takes place.


Land and land use decisions have cultural, social, legal, economic and ecosystem implications and this  BSc  degree offers a broad perspective on these issues.


While it may be noticeable if our built environments are poorly designed, through studying this degree, you will recognise the attributes of excellence in planning and urban development.


Land planning, land administration and the process of land subdivision have significant impacts on the layout and function of human and natural landscapes. These activities influence the way land is used, patterns of residential development and assessments of the economic potential of land. For some, land also has an important cultural value.


The Land Planning and Development degree provides an excellent foundation for those wanting a career in planning, land development and resource management, especially in relation to the subdivision and administration of land. It differs from other New Zealand planning degrees in that it emphasises engineering design and land administration, from Pākehā and Māori perspectives, as well as covering essential aspects of New Zealand legislation that relate to land development. It encompasses the practical aspects of planning and planning law.
