This emphasis is designed for students who desire to understand the process of community development in rural and urban settings. It will prepare students for practice in a variety of public policy and design-oriented settings and will give the foundation for the preparation, development and implementation of community and regional plans. It will provide students with the theory necessary to understand the process of community development within a regional framework.

The coursework encompasses the economic, political and social aspects of planning. Students are taught the planning concepts and skills necessary to assist and advocate on behalf of communities. The emphasis provides a planning approach for integrating various techniques that help to identify and understand the historical, present and future patterns of individual and collective action as well as to anticipate and predict the consequences of actions on other communities.
