Graduate Certificate in Development Planning

It is now widely accepted that sustainable and successful human settlements must be properly planned. Urban and regional planners play an important role in shaping development and land use in cities, towns and regions to promote public interest in the development process. Planners need to assess and consider issues relating to housing, ecological systems, community development, transport systems and economic development. Planners work with a range of government, community, industry and market-based stakeholders in the preparation and implementation of plans.
