Innovative solutions to wicked problems
Geography and Planning addresses the world’s greatest challenges – climate change, social upheaval, affordability, inequality, governance, resource use, and urbanization – using an interdisciplinary approach that links planners, human geographers, and physical geographers.
In research and teaching, we explore the relationships between people and the world around them, creating a unique community of scholars which is grounded in real-world issues.
We strive to deliver world-class, inclusive, and experiential programs that prepare our students for careers that matter.
