This concentration prepares students to effectively frame and engage
with the dynamic challenges of designing and implementing plans and
public policies in regional and international settings, with particular
focus on urbanization and human settlement systems. Specific topics
include the interplay of development and the presence and absence of
political stability, social cohesion and social movements, economic
equity, environmental sustainability, the spatial concentration of
economic activity, interindustry linkages, technology transfer, and
cross-boundary movement of people, trade, capital, and information.
Students should take two of the required courses and at least four
within the concentration. A graduate planning studio in regional or
international planning is strongly recommended. Note that since
graduate course offerings throughout the university change annually,
there may be relevant courses in cognate fields (or at the Woodrow
Wilson School at Princeton), which could be approved by one of the
faculty coordinators for inclusion in the concentration. Students may
also take a Directed Study relevant to their specific interests as one
of the recommended courses.Required Courses
