Spatial Planning

Utrecht University Utrecht Research university

The Master's programme Spatial Planning (previously known as Planologie) trains students to solve conflicting interests on urban land.

As a planner, students are also directly involved in preparing public policy for sustainable cities. Apply appropriate methods and instruments that contribute to sustainable, smart, and inclusive spatial policy. Learn how to develop innovative concepts and manage complex governance processes for the sustainable use of spatial resources such as land and shape the urban environment of the future.
