Urban Placemaking and Management (UPM) program provides a professionally oriented education to a student body with diverse cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds. The UPM program focuses on participatory planning leading to successful and sustainable public spaces. The focus begins with community engagement, while stressing a multidisciplinary approach to the development, design and programming of public space.

The 40-credit program equips students to qualify for employment in a range of institutional, governmental, nonprofit, and private-sector settings. Students gain a broad theoretical knowledge of the historical, political, and social frameworks with which to conceptualize the public realm, while developing skills to analyze urban space and underxadstand the relationship of public space to public policy and private development. Through studios and internships, students further gain practical understanding of the planning and design of public space, including management and the integration of the principles of sustainability into public space development.

The core knowledge and skills base of placemaking as a discipline are delivered over four semesters through a combination of lectures, seminars, case studies, and studio-based exercises. Students pursue a curriculum of study structured by four academic knowledge streams: design and infrastructure, economics, planning and policy, and management. The program offers students the flexibility to develop advanced knowledge and skills through electives in a wide variety of topics, both in the UPM program and in the other GCPE disciplines.

Students can select specific areas of focus such as:

• Community-Based Design
• Parks, Open Space, and Green Infrastructure
• Transportation and Main Street Management
