URBAN/LAND USE PLANNERS

URBAN/LAND USE PLANNERS

Probably one of the greatest problems facing the “green” revolution is the need to convert the urban landscape from one of toxic air to an acceptable and healthy environment for the citizens.
Misuse and wastefulness of resources and neglect for the welfare of the inhabitants has produced an environment that is poisonous to the citizens of urban areas.  The entire urban landscape of the United States of America requires redesigning from not only an environmental but an ecological view.  Educated Urban Land Use Planners who are dedicated to rebuilding communities will be an essential part of the new “green” world.

Urban and Land Use Planners will require a university education and it appears that in the recent past many Urban Planning and Public Policy programs are adding sustainable design to their curriculum.  In addition to natural and social sciences, students will also be required to study engineering and architecture as additions to their “green Urban Planning field.”
