We live in an urban world. Cities and city-regions around the globe face pressing social and environmental challenges linked to climate change, emerging infectious disease, global migration, and deepening social inequalities and racial divides. But cities are also the places where collective solutions to these problems can be found and new ways of life are initiated. In Cities, Regions, Planning, you learn to apply inclusive and sustainable planning interventions, consulting skills, governance procedures and activist tools to manage urban growth (and decline), provide infrastructure, integrate newcomers, and mitigate environmental impacts.

The Cities, Regions, Planning program examines how cities and regions may be planned in more just and sustainable ways through three thematic concentrations:

Urban Worlds - engages with different ways of being in cities around the planet to consider how urban residents live, work and play in a rapidly changing global geography of interconnected urban places.
Urban Planning and Politics - deals with the institutions, actors, struggles and processes that help create and govern communities, cities, regions, and urban networks.
Urban Political Ecology - focuses on the role of nature and environment in the process of urbanization, urban form and urban life.

Taught by internationally recognized urban scholars and planning practitioners, students acquire the foundational knowledge, critical thinking and technical skills to create tangible change in urban, suburban and regional environments. Students engage with communities in Toronto, across Canada and abroad gaining hands-on experiences of processes of urban transformations, community-based initiatives and design and policy challenges.

Topics of study include:

Processes of urbanization and city life
The regional composition of the global economy
Planning theory and practice
Urban and regional planning
Urban infrastructures and mobility
Urban health and pandemic preparedness
Suburbanization, growth control and conservation
Urban analytics and geomatics
Urban wildlife and habitats
Urban risk and resilience
Public participation in planning and governance
Urban inequalities, gentrification and segregation
Urban ecologies
Communities and urban life

This program is supported by the CITY Institute at York University, a leading interdisciplinary centre that facilitates critical and collaborative research and provides new knowledge and innovative approaches to understanding and addressing the complexity of the urban arena.
