• Urbanization in Asia is proceeding at a pace and scale that is unprecedented in history. Climate change, the pervasiveness of info-communications technology, geopolitical instability, and increasing socio-economic inequality impinge on the ways cities are planned, built, and lived. In the wake of these challenges, the profession of urban planning is constantly reinventing itself by critically examining existing methodologies and incorporating new ones.
  • The Master of Urban Planning (MUP) program taps into the experience of Singapore and cities in Asia as laboratories of planning ideas and methods, experimenting with high-density living, ecological sensitivity, data science, and social policies to ensure equity through development. It equips graduates with all the necessary skills and knowledge to act as urban planning professionals and policy-makers in a rapidly urbanizing world.
