1 MASTER OF URBAN PLANNING Student Perspectives

2 URBAN PLANNING S TERRAIN IS THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST. URBAN PLANNERS ARE CONCERNED WITH THE INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE, THE PLACES THEY LIVE IN AND THE POLICIES THAT SHAPE SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND LIVEABLE COMMUNITIES. URBAN PLANNERS WORK TO POSTIVELY INFLUENCE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, ECONOMIC INNOVATION AND SOCIAL EQUITY IN URBAN CENTRES. This terrain encompasses a tremendous diversity of interests and professional specialisations and roles. This brochure reflects this diversity. It is based on the titles of recent student theses; effectively the students themselves have articulated their intellectual interests and career aspirations. Urban planning is viewed as being among the ten best green jobs and among the top professions. Our students thesis titles reveal why. Recent and ongoing thesis titles have been sorted into categories such as Strategic Planning, Disaster Recovery and Energy. Each category lists three thesis titles and provides images which represent those interests. Both the images and the thesis titles reflect ongoing public debates and the search for how best to address some of the foremost global issues of our time. The categories also represent areas where urban planning research and the exploration of career options are encouraged within the Melbourne School of Design (MSD). The expertise of the planning staff is exceeded by the range of student interests and sometimes the theses represent a shared exploration of the topic. The students areas of interest and engagement help to shape teaching within the urban planning program, ensuring its relevancy and dynamism. Urban Planning is a program within the Melbourne School of Design of the University of Melbourne. The program offers a Master of Urban Planning and two research degrees - the Masters by Research and a Doctorate.
