Your urban planning degree programme at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences
Are you interested in the diverse interdisciplinary fields of urban planning and want to make a sustainable contribution to the development of urban spaces? The Green Urban Planning degree programme prepares you comprehensively for holistic, sustainable and responsible planning of the built environment. The focus is not only on the planning of new urban districts and new construction, but also on careful and resource-conserving remodelling and the transformation of existing cities and places.
