Master of Science in Urban Placemaking and Management

Placemaking approaches public space from a people perspective, based on community needs and programming. You’ll understand the role that community building, economics, sustainability, management, urban design, and landscape design play in creating and maintaining successful public spaces. We prepare professionals for this rapidly growing field. You’ll learn to create successful, vibrant, equitable, and economically viable public spaces using a bottom-up, community-driven, people-centric approach. Our program is for students with professionally oriented undergraduate education, professional degrees, or professional experience in architecture, engineering, environmental or landscape design, urban planning, or a background in geography, social sciences, and management. You’ll be immersed in the core skills of analysis, conceptual design, and management of the public realm in cities.
