Urban and Regional Planning and Design

Education Goals

We will develop integration technicians who will clarify the concrete issues relating to the many new problems local communities face, such as the aging society and energy conservation; work to develop solutions to these issues; and have the communication abilities, design abilities, and management abilities to build next-generation social systems while enacting community development and public policy.

Education Objectives

To achieve the above goal, we will train students to extract and clarify the concrete issues relating to the many new problems local communities face, such as the aging society and energy conservation; work to develop solutions to these issues; and have deep and comprehensive specialized abilities for enacting community development and public policy.

What We Offer

This course of study includes a program aimed at helping students learn the latest advanced academic skills in order to further deepen the expertise gained from their undergraduate courses and at helping students cultivate the engineering design abilities and international outlook necessary for applying that expertise in the real world.
Students will also acquire a wide range of specialized knowledge for clarifying the concrete issues relating to the many complex problems local communities face, especially as related to social systems, community development, and landscape design, and for working to develop solutions to these issues, as well as for building next-generation social systems while enacting community development and public policy. Furthermore, we have organized and implemented a cross-sectoral curriculum for students to acquire broad academic knowledge not limited to their familiar field of expertise.
