Cornell’s renowned program in City and Regional Planning (CRP), in the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, has a solid curriculum that combines theory and practice in both domestic and international realms. CRP offers a rich educational environment composed of flexible degree programs, a distinguished faculty with extensive research and outreach agendas, engaged students with active organizations, ample support facilities, and a busy calendar of events. Planning education is a collaborative endeavor: there is a strong sense of cooperation among the faculty and great openness to student input. Through almost unparalleled access to internships and workshops, students test their ideas, research, and coursework in practice, while bringing real-world problems back into the classroom for critical examination.
CRP’s mission is defined by
- A commitment to the unity of theory and practice.
- A commitment to sustainable and contextually appropriate action.
- An emphasis on intellectual and practical questions of social justice and equity.
- A strategy for understanding and creating place through study and practice in land use, design, economic development, historic preservation, and governance.
