This concentration provides broad exposure to the political, economic, and administrative processes of urban and community development. The coursework examines social and economic policy formation; implementation and evaluation; the dynamics of social change; the relationship between community development and local, national, and global institutions; participatory and community planning methods; and issues of gender, race, class, and power. This concentration meets the needs of students with a range of interests, including downtown redevelopment, community revitalization, urban poverty, economic development, and housing.
Students must take both of the required courses, and at least four courses total in the concentration. It is strongly recommended that a graduate planning studio in community development be one of the four.
