Overview

Key facts

The curriculum of the City and Regional Planning program at Georgia Institute of Technology gives students a broad understanding of the urban and regional environment and a foundation of skills needed to plan for today’s regions and cities.

The Master of City and Regional Planning (MCRP) degree program prepares students to excel as professionals capable of understanding and resolving complex urban planning problems. The curriculum gives students both a broad understanding of the urban and regional environment and a foundation of skills needed to plan for this environment.

The MCRP program strives for a careful balance between the theoretical, historical, and conceptual knowledge about urban and regional development on the one hand, and the acquisition of practical skills and methods of analysis on the other. The program offers six specializations as well as dual degree program options with architecture, civil engineering, law, and public policy.

The applied studio course allows students to synthesize their planning knowledge and skills in a real-world situation ranging from neighborhood to metropolitan regions. Our studios are conducted locally throughout Atlanta, which provides an excellent laboratory, as well as nationally and internationally. Finally, a thesis or applied research paper provides an opportunity for focused study in the student's major area of specialization.
