We live in a time of tumultuous change and of increasing fragmentation of our environments. Our time is also one of hope.
New technologies increase our capacity to understand and to represent our surroundings.
Expanding knowledge can lead to wiser actions to shape our built environments, to create more fair institutions, and integrate nature into our daily lives. My colleagues and I in the School of Planning and Landscape Architecture are dedicated to the task of linking knowledge to action. We do so by offering bachelor's degrees in housing and urban development, landscape architecture, and planning as well as a master of environmental planning. These degrees are fashioned to help the student become a positive agent of change.
