Masters of Community Planning | MCP
Community Planning is the marriage between people and their surroundings. It is how the built environment influences human behavior and interaction. It is daylighting the frames and systems that shape our cities and the lives of people within them. The built environment and our places within them are not accidental. The discipline shapes where we live, work, and play, all of which affect our health and wellbeing. It requires us as planners to be intentional about how we plan, design, and distribute those spaces to promote better health and social outcomes.

It is important to think about Cities; their character, physical form, and most critical and interesting contemporary urban design challenges. The City as a Garden of Ideas is a metaphor with implications for The City itself as well as how we might think about urban growth and change.
While city planners and economic developers think of how they can provide their citizens with a quality of life that makes them want to stay (or, in many cases, also attracts more people), perhaps the most neglected thought is the design of the city or how walkable it can be
This is a proposal to retrofit this area that helps campus achieve goals associated with environmental sustainability and, in addition, enhance the living, working, and academic environment.
Bachelors of Science in Environmental Design | BSEV
Environmental Design is the process of rethinking or revitalizing the built environment and enhancing the user experience while also considering different factors and parameters (such as budget, stakeholders, etc.). It places an emphasis on human-centric design, the idea of systems thinking through holistic approaches. This allows me to better help people by designing with them, instead of for them.
