The Department of City Planning in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Manitoba, the oldest continuing planning school in Canada, provides a broad foundation for excellence in planning practices. The program strengthens the capacity of planning professionals and planning as a discipline to enhance the ecological sustainability, social equity and aesthetic qualities of human settlements. Graduate students have the chance to work with colleagues across disciplines in architecture, environmental design, interior design and landscape architecture. The program concentrates on issues related to urban revitalisation, low-cost housing, sustainability, and community and regional development. Unique opportunities are offered to explore local and global intersections within a major urban centre in the Canadian prairies, Winnipeg, within the North American mid-continent Corridor south into the United States and Mexico, and within international contexts.

We celebrated fifty years of excellence in planning education, research and practice in March 2000.
