DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING

SCHOOL OF PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE, NEW DELHI-2

Mission statement
The UN HABITAT Report of 2007 (the year the world became fifty-percent urban), states that majority of
human beings are and would be living in cities in future. Urbanization is set to continue at a faster pace in
the coming decades. Urbanisation is an important aspect of the process of socio-economic development and
is also closely connected with problems pertaining to migration from villages to towns, small towns to
metropolises, levels of living in rural and urban areas. The positive role of urbanisation is often overshadowed by the evident deterioration in the physical environment and quality of life in the urban areas
caused by the widening gap between demand and supply of shelter for different sections of the population,
essential services and infrastructure. The problems pertaining to growth, inequities, unemployment,
informal sector, unplanned expansion and conservation of heritage at scales from the mega region down to
the neighbourhood level are complex and need integrated solutions covering various disciplines. Urban
areas are considered the engines of productivity and growth in the country. However, present day cities are
faced with challenges of transformation and management with respect to globalization, competitiveness,
sustainability, climate change, livability and inclusiveness. The transformation has a direct bearing on the
strategies that need to be adopted to combat the challenges.
Cities thus need to organize, manage and facilitate growth in a sustainable way apart from positioning
themselves at global level. Urban planners plan for the future of urban areas and work to ensure that cities
have what they need to grow, prosper and be sustainable. The discipline of Urban Planning synthesizes
inputs from various disciplines into an integrated plan of action for addressing the emerging concerns of the
cities in order to achieve a desirable quality of life.

Vision Statement
The vision of the Department of Urban Planning is to ensure and maintain quality of education so as to be
at par with institutions worldwide, continued / sustained research in the field of urban planning,
development and management and strengthening academic links of the department with institutions in
India and abroad and setting up of Knowledge Centre.
The Masters of Planning (with specialization in Urban Planning) programme of the Department of Urban
Planning is designed to prepare students in the skills of analyzing the physical, social, cultural, economic
and ecological dimensions of urban settlements, comprehending their problems, and evolving measures to
address the issues and emerging challenges in a planned manner. Along with a group of core courses
common to all planning programmes, specializations are built around courses such as city and metropolitan
planning, infrastructure planning, environment, development and disaster management, heritage
conservation, urban development
management, project planning.
The programme focuses on various forms of planning processes and exposes the students to new techniques
such as project planning and informational technology including the GIS. The programme includes studio
exercises in plan preparation through live case studies related to comprehensive and micro level urban
development issues, and problems related to various cities and towns in the country

Restructured Syllabus of the Second, Third and Fourth Semesters of the

Masters in Planning (with specialization in Urban Planning)
The Masters of Planning (with specialization in Urban Planning) syllabus is restructured, within the context
of the perspective plan and vision of the Department of Urban Planning. The syllabus also takes cognizance
of the Restructured syllabus of the First Semester Integrated Programme of the Masters of Planning course.
The course is designed to focus on Planning aspects in the Second semester, Management and Governance
aspects in the Third Semester and the Legal and Finance aspects in the Fourth Semester. The studio

upon the planning aspects of the urban areas and the third semester studio exercise would focus on the
management aspect of the cities.
