Program overview
This program has been suspended from September 2023. There are no further intakes of students planned. The following information is retained for students currently enrolled in the program.
The majority of the world’s population now lives in urban areas: Currently, 55 per cent of the world’s 7.9 billion people live in cities and that proportion is expected to rise to 68 per cent by 2050.
City planning is, without doubt, a career for the future. And there is nowhere better to study it than in the ‘living laboratory’ of Australia’s fastest growing city: the Gold Coast.
Bond University’s Master of City Planning is designed to produce practice-oriented urban planners and urban designers who will take a leading role in creating sustainable cities and regions.
In what has been dubbed ‘the urban century’, the need for strategic planning of cities to meet the challenges of urban management, sustainability and climate change is a fundamental issue for governments, corporations, and community organisations worldwide. Our curriculum includes a focus on climate change adaptation and resilience, city economics, the core principles of place-making and an understanding of First Nations cultures.
