This course is designed to provide graduate students from urban planning, civil engineering, and closely aligned disciplines with an overview of land use and transportation planning in the U.S., Canada and where appropriate, from international settings. The content covers theoretical, policy, and practical perspectives. We then use the knowledge gained from this theory to understand the merits of employing specific planning policies or other infrastructure investments to design places and networks consistent with the goals and objectives of community planning.
