Professional urban planners have the onerous responsibility of drawing up detailed blueprints for construction of new cities and towns, and device optimal land use strategies to accommodate the influx of rural migrants into India’s already crowded towns and cities.
The minimum academic qualification required for acceptability into this esoteric profession is a Masters degree in urban or regional planning from an institute accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board. SPA, Delhi is widely acknowledged as the country’s premier institute for town/urban planning studies, offering undergrad, postgrad and doctoral program. Another well-reputed institute is the Centre for Environmental Planning & Technology, Ahmedabad. For working professionals already employed in urban planning and development in civic and municipal organizations, the Bangalore based IIHS offers an 11-month full-time Program for Working Professionals in Urban Development.
Employment and career development prospects are excellent both in public and private organizations. In the public sector, certified urban planning professionals are urgently required in municipal corporations, local governments and parastatal organizations.
