DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING

The establishment of the urban Planning department dates back to the year 1986 when the department of Architectural was divided into two departments: Architecture and Urban Planning department .The aim was to emprehend the Architectural and Urban fields in the Faculty .The students begin to specialize in Urban Planning department after finalizing the preparatory year & two successive years in the Architecture of department. The student studies a group of specialized curriculums for example: Urban design, Urban Planning and Housing & Architectural Design. The student also has to study a number of specialized curriculums for example: Environmental control, landscape, Economic Geography, Urban Sociology, Computer & its Applications in Planning, Building Legislation’s in addition to Transportation, Road Traffic & Planning Legislation’s, Urban Economy & Feasibility Studies for Urban Projects. These studies are directed to serve a comprehensive project for graduation. The department aims at graduating the Urban Planner from two aspects, theoretical & applicable to serve the community in at the scale of urban design as well as the scale of urban planning. To achieve this goal, comprehensive curriculums have been offered in the department. Field studies are running parallel to the academic studies. In addition, the graduation project is related to the local environment and its problems.
