The time to embrace sustainability in urban planning has never been more pressing. Communities and cities across the globe are in need of skillful planners to help face the challenges of modern urbanization.

We will review how the Sustainable Urban Planning program at George Washington University (GW) is the ideal place to earn a recognized credential in the growing Sustainable Urban Planning field, and gain a highly sought-after skill set for promoting more competitive, inclusive, and ecological cities. This program has been accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board (PAB).

This interactive online information session is an excellent opportunity to learn about the program curriculum, discuss the application process, and have your questions answered by our Program Director Sandra Whitehead. This event will be from 12 pm to 1 pm Wednesday, April 14. RSVP here.
