The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the planning profession.
City planning is a wide-ranging field that contains a number of specific subareas.
This course will provide students with an overview of city planning as a discipline and acquaint students with the various subfields that are available for them to pursue while at Georgia Tech. The Georgia Tech City Planning curriculum consists of a core that is designed to give students the basic set of skills and knowledge required of all planners. The curriculum also requires that each student identify a particular specialization, in which they will develop additional depth. During the quarter we will explore each of these specializations. We will supplement our readings and in-class discussions with guest lecturers from the various specializations.
