Master of Urban Planning
Ranked #6 in City Management and Urban Policy by US News and World Report
Housed within a school of public service, rather than
a school of architecture, the Master of Urban Planning
program brings students into direct contact with the
critical urban challenges of our era. Today’s urban
planners must balance development, community needs
and social justice, provision of critical public services,
sustainability, and security. In the broader contexts of
policy, management, and finance, NYU Wagner students
develop the critical thinking they need in urban design,
land use, economic and community development,
housing, and environmental and infrastructure planning.
New York City and NYU Wagner in particular are at
the forefront of these critical issues and debates, and
present myriad opportunities to obtain and practice
the skills needed to confront these new challenges.
