Modern cities cannot grow safely or efficiently without disciplined Urban Planning guiding how land, transport, and infrastructure investment come together. This training course gives participants a complete, practical grounding in urban planning and infrastructure development, connecting planning decisions directly to the real transportation, land use, and investment challenges facing growing cities.
Participants will strengthen their understanding of zoning as a core tool for shaping land use and urban form, and will build practical competency in transportation planning that supports mobility, accessibility, and future growth. The course places strong emphasis on prioritizing and structuring infrastructure investment, and develops sound skills in balancing planning, transportation, and funding decisions to deliver resilient, livable modern cities.
