Develop the knowledge and skills needed to help communities, companies and governments integrate the environmental, economic and social aspects of development, from site design to regional scale analysis.

When you study Regional and Town planning at UQ, you'll learn to balance the competing priorities of development with preservation of the natural environment as you gain the necessary skills to plan cities and regional towns.

You'll study land use, transport, infrastructure and urban design, as well as real estate markets, investment, sustainability, community consultation and strategic long-term town planning.

Regional and town planning assists communities, companies and governments to integrate the environmental, economic and social aspects of development, from site selection to regional considerations. It covers land-use planning, urban design, transport and infrastructure planning, use and extension of information technology, heritage and conservation, resource management, environmental monitoring, planning law and practice, commercial and industrial development, and policy making and implementation.

Under the program, you'll learn how to apply planning theory and develop design skills through project work. These projects will vary in complexity, from simple small-scale projects to comprehensive development schemes, often in real-life situations in conjunction with local authorities and community organisations.

You'll graduate with a qualification recognised by the Planning Institute of Australia and be prepared for a variety of interesting roles in the public, private and civil society sectors.
