Join the Bloustein School at the virtual open house for all NYC area planning schools on Monday, November 17, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm.
Are you passionate about making cities more livable, equitable, and sustainable? Do you want to create healthy spaces for people of all generations and backgrounds? Do you want to help decarbonize cities and help them adapt to a changing climate? Are you concerned about congestion, gentrification, displacement, and the lack of affordable housing?
Consider a field that starts with people and unites policy, design, economics, environment, and society: UrbanPlanning! Planning students learn how and why cities function, strategies to transform cities, and skills like design software, economic modeling, and facilitation. Develop your career in government, the private sector, or with non-government agencies helping communities in the U.S. or abroad.
Hear from alumni and practitioners about why they chose planning, and from faculty and staff of the eight planning and #urbandesign programs in the New York region about what makes their programs unique.
PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS: City College of New York; Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation; Cornell City and Regional Planning; Hunter College; NYU Wagner; The New School; Pratt Institute; Rutgers University Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy
