Frequently Asked Questions

The field aims to plan, design, and manage cities and communities in ways that balance urban development, environmental sustainability, mobility, economic needs, and quality of life.

Students study urban and regional planning, urban design, landscape architecture, transportation planning, environmental planning, GIS and spatial analysis, smart cities, and sustainable development.

Urban planning is interdisciplinary and draws on architecture, engineering, environmental sciences, geography, transportation, economics, sociology, data analysis, and public policy.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help planners collect, map, analyze, and visualize spatial data to understand urban patterns and support evidence-based planning and decision-making.

It means planning cities and communities in ways that meet current needs while protecting environmental resources, supporting social well-being, and maintaining opportunities for future generations.

Urban planning involves communities and stakeholders in identifying needs, setting priorities, and developing solutions that respond to local conditions and improve quality of life.

Students develop skills in planning and design, GIS, spatial analysis, urban data, digital planning tools, site analysis, fieldwork, problem-solving, and the preparation of urban and environmental plans.

Graduates can work in municipalities, ministries and government agencies, planning and engineering consulting firms, development organizations, real-estate and land-development companies, transportation and infrastructure organizations, and other public and private-sector institutions.

As Jordan?s only undergraduate program dedicated to urban planning, the program combines interdisciplinary education, planning and design studios, advanced technologies, field-based learning, and practical training to prepare graduates for emerging urban and environmental challenges.
