The Regional and Urban Planning program is a professional program, accredited by the Canadian Institute of Planners and Association of Professional Community Planners of Saskatchewan. Planners are place makers and community builders. Planning focuses on the disposition of land, resources, facilities and services in urban and regional contexts in order to create distinctive and resilient places. It combines technical knowledge with an esthetic understanding of what constitutes good urban design. Decisions about how communities grow are increasingly linked to public environmental consciousness, making planners one of the most active professional groups dealing with climate change, energy efficiency and air/water quality. Professional planners are the front-line workers helping citizens, governments and the private sector work together in building communities with sustainable futures.
