As a CRP undergraduate or graduate student, you can make the most of Cornell’s extensive campuses, taking semesters away at AAP NYC or Cornell in Rome.
CRP at the Gensler Family AAP NYC Center

CRP coursework at Cornell in Rome introduces you to city and regional planning issues in Rome, across Italy, and the greater European Union region. In Rome, CRP workshops engage in neighborhoods on the periphery, experimenting with creative ways to engage with the changing dynamics that shape Rome.

Students can also opt for other semester-long study abroad programs offered through Global Cornell or other outside educational institutions.
Rome Neighborhood Workshop
The Rome Neighborhood Workshop focuses on learning about Rome as an urban system through the analysis of a set of neighborhoods located outside central Rome, surveying in the process issues that affect the well-being of their residents. Students explore public space, transportation, urban design, housing, infrastructure, immigrant population integration, demographics, historic preservation, service provision, and economic development using a rich variety of quantitative and qualitative methods.
Workshop Reports Archive
At the end of the semester, student reports are shared with neighborhood residents and stakeholders. This is the most complete set of studies of its type written in English, all of which are made available to the public through Cornell University Library’s digital service, eCommons.
These neighborhood studies could not have been completed without the support of the Cornell in Rome faculty. A special thanks to Greg Smith, Cora Fontana, Marco Gissara, Fabrizio Felice, Carlotta Fioretti, Viviana Andriola, and Serena Muccitelli.
Support inquiries related to the archive should be sent to crpinfo@cornell.edu.
