INTRODUCTION
SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE | NEW DELHI

Urban Planning is a discipline, which synthesizes inputs

from various disciplines into an integrated plan of action
for shaping the natural and built environment in order to
achieve a desirable quality of life in urban areas by
keeping the resource constraints in view.

The programme focuses on various forms of planning

processes and products, and exposes the students to
new techniques such as project planning and
informational technology including remote sensing and
the GIS. The programme includes studio exercises in plan
preparation through live case studies related to
comprehensive and micro level urban development
issues, and problems related to various cities and towns
in the country
