Bachelor in City and Regional Planning

City and regional planning examines how urban and rural areas grow and change, and how policy, infrastructure, and design decisions shape the places people live and work. Coursework generally includes land use planning, urban design, transportation systems, housing policy, geographic information systems (GIS), and environmental and social considerations in planning decisions, combined with studio work on real or hypothetical planning problems. Students learn to read and produce planning documents, analyze demographic and spatial data, and propose interventions at scales ranging from a single neighborhood to a metropolitan region. Career paths include roles in municipal or regional planning offices, urban design consultancies, transportation planning, housing and community development organizations, and further graduate study in planning or urban studies. This 4 year bachelor's program in City and Regional Planning is taught at TED University in Ankara, Turkey, in English. Ankara, as Turkey's capital and a major administrative center, offers a practical backdrop for studying planning issues such as growth management, public transit, and public space, and the English-medium instruction supports engagement with international planning literature and case studies throughout the four years of study.
