As our cities expand rapidly, all organizations involved in their development are looking for specially trained professionals to plan and manage the systems and programs – including government agencies and departments, Urban Missions, international institutions, business organizations, policy and research entities, think tanks and other bodies. Technically and professionally qualified people with a systematic understanding of towns and cities, and how these work, are increasingly required for livable, sustainable and inclusive cities – more so, as urban areas are key to handling our climate change challenges.

The School of Human Settlements Post-graduate Programs prepares engineers, planners, architects, geographers, economists and others for careers in planning and managing sustainable cities, towns and other urbanising places.
