UF urban planning program trains students to manage Florida’s rapid population growth

Florida’s population grows by nearly 1,000 residents per day, placing mounting pressure on communities and natural resources across the state. UF’s Department of Urban and Regional Planning is preparing students to tackle those pressures through coursework and research focused on affordable housing, transportation, and environmental conservation. Faculty are also engaged in hands-on research aimed at addressing challenges ranging from smart growth and cultural preservation to supporting aging populations.
