The growth of human settlements amid unprecedented climate and political change is creating challenges over systems of food, water, housing, transportation, and labor, requiring us to innovate the ways that we plan, build, and live together.

|
UC San Diego’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) rises to these challenges through its research, pedagogy, and community-engagement. We offer two undergraduate degrees in Urban Studies and Planning (USP) and Real Estate and Development (RED), which both provide students with hands-on skills and experience to plan, design, and develop diverse, equitable, and healthy communities.

Our researchers and practitioners focus on topics such as urban planning, land use planning, housing, real estate and community development, urban design, transportation, food systems, and histories and theories of urbanization, while fostering relationships with community partners outside of the university.
