Director: Lance Freeman
The Ph.D. Program prepares students for careers in teaching, research, and advanced practice in the fields of urban planning and urban policy. The program has as its specific field of inquiry the articulation of space (understood as material form, not mere geographic territory) and the socio-economic, political, and physical urban processes that produce and reproduce the built environment. These investigations take place at various spatial scales from the neighborhood to the global and focus both within and outside the United States. Organizing this inquiry are questions related to the efficiency and effectiveness of planning practices, social justice, and deeper questions related to the growth and development of societies.
