Welcome to the Bloustein School

The Bloustein School seeks to improve our increasingly urbanized and interconnected world by exploring planning approaches and public policy solutions that are healthier, greener, fairer, and generate greater prosperity than do current practices. It pursues equitable and efficient solutions to public problems at multiple levels from the global to the local and emphasizes the professional perspectives of urban planning, public policy, and public health.


The Civic Square Building is the home of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. The Bloustein School is located on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University and is just a short walk to the busy downtown area of the city of New Brunswick. Enjoy the tour, and we hope to see you soon!
