More than half of the world's population already lives in cities, and another 2.5 billion people are projected to move to urban areas by 2050. The way we build new cities will be at the heart of so much that matters, from climate change to economic vitality to our very well-being and sense of connectedness. Peter Calthorpe is already at work planning the cities of the future and advocating for community design that's focused on human interaction. He shares seven universal principles for solving sprawl and building smarter, more sustainable cities.

Describing the field of urban planning in a world full of "party plans" and "life planning" can be challenging. This video sheds some light on the subject and defines urban planning as a professional discipline focused on the future.
Tough challenges—like climate change, housing affordability, and congestion—require a more incisive understanding of the role of urban planning. After developing a definition of urban planning, this video describes the fundamental intersectionality of the discipline and related professional fields.
A better understanding of urban planning can be the beginning of a more impactful and positive role in your community, your city, and your world.

I'm not an urban planner, so you might ask, why do I run a YouTube channel about urban planning and walkable cities? It all comes down to a life of travel, and a terrible walk in the suburbs of Houston.

The rectangular grid is an ancient city plan and has been used by civilizations for thousands of years. It underpins many of our cities to this day, and has been hailed for its efficiency. But there is a surprising dark side to the city grid. So, what is the darkness that underlies our city grids, and how might the grid be bad for us today?

This installment of What’s UP? features Associate Professor of Virginia Tech’s Urban Affairs and Planning Department located in VT's Arlington campus, Dr. Ralph Buehler. His research and teaching interests take on an international comparative perspective, contrasting transport and land-use policies, transport systems, and travel behavior in Western Europe and North America.
What’s UP? is Virginia Tech's Master of Urban Planning's (VTMURP) new campaign to get the word out about Urban Planning. Through a video series of brief interviews, we hope to delineate what Urban Planning as a field of study is all about. We will be talking to students, alumni, faculty, and planning professionals to ask them “What’s UP?”

Urban planning
Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the use of land, protection and use of the environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks. Urban Planning is also referred to as urban and regional, regional, town, city, rural planning or some combination in various areas worldwide. Urban planning takes many forms and it can share perspectives and practices with urban design.
Urban planning guides and ensures the orderly development of settlements and satellite communities which commute into and out of urban areas or share resources with it. Urban planners in the field are concerned with research and analysis, strategic thinking, architecture, urban design, public consultation, policy recommendations, implementation and management.
Urban Planners work with the cognate fields of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Public Administration to achieve strategic, policy and sustainability goals. Early urban planners were often members of these cognate fields. Today urban planning is a separate, independent professional discipline. The discipline is the broader category that includes many different sub-fields such as land-use planning, zoning, environmental planning, transportation planning, and Parks and Recreation.

What is Urban Planning?
Describing the field of urban planning in a world full of "party plans" and "life planning" can be challenging. This video sheds some light on the subject and defines urban planning as a professional discipline focused on the future. Tough challenges—like climate change, housing affordability, and congestion—require a more incisive understanding of the role of urban planning.

But there is a surprising dark side to the city grid. So, what is the darkness that underlies our city grids, and how might the grid be bad for us today?

Describing the field of urban planning in a world full of "party plans" and "life planning" can be challenging. This video sheds some light on the subject and defines urban planning as a professional discipline focused on the future.
Tough challenges—like climate change, housing affordability, and congestion—require a more incisive understanding of the role of urban planning. After developing a definition of urban planning, this video describes the fundamental intersectionality of the discipline and related professional fields.
A better understanding of urban planning can be the beginning of a more impactful and positive role in your community, your city, and your world.

His research and teaching interests take on an international comparative perspective, contrasting transport and land-use policies, transport systems, and travel behavior in Western Europe and North America.
What’s UP? is Virginia Tech's Master of Urban Planning's (VTMURP) new campaign to get the word out about Urban Planning. Through a video series of brief interviews, we hope to delineate what Urban Planning as a field of study is all about. We will be talking to students, alumni, faculty, and planning professionals to ask them “What’s UP?”

Almost a billion people worldwide live in informal communities and slums, often without basic infrastructure like clean water, toilets or adequate roads.

More than half of the world's population already lives in cities, and another 2.5 billion people are projected to move to urban areas by 2050. The way we build new cities will be at the heart of so much that matters, from climate change to economic vitality to our very well-being and sense of connectedness. Peter Calthorpe is already at work planning the cities of the future and advocating for community design that's focused on human interaction. He shares seven universal principles for solving sprawl and building smarter, more sustainable cities.

Describing the field of urban planning in a world full of "party plans" and "life planning" can be challenging. This video sheds some light on the subject and defines urban planning as a professional discipline focused on the future.
Tough challenges—like climate change, housing affordability, and congestion—require a more incisive understanding of the role of urban planning. After developing a definition of urban planning, this video describes the fundamental intersectionality of the discipline and related professional fields.
A better understanding of urban planning can be the beginning of a more impactful and positive role in your community, your city, and your world.

I'm not an urban planner, so you might ask, why do I run a YouTube channel about urban planning and walkable cities? It all comes down to a life of travel, and a terrible walk in the suburbs of Houston.

The rectangular grid is an ancient city plan and has been used by civilizations for thousands of years. It underpins many of our cities to this day, and has been hailed for its efficiency. But there is a surprising dark side to the city grid. So, what is the darkness that underlies our city grids, and how might the grid be bad for us today?

This installment of What’s UP? features Associate Professor of Virginia Tech’s Urban Affairs and Planning Department located in VT's Arlington campus, Dr. Ralph Buehler. His research and teaching interests take on an international comparative perspective, contrasting transport and land-use policies, transport systems, and travel behavior in Western Europe and North America.
What’s UP? is Virginia Tech's Master of Urban Planning's (VTMURP) new campaign to get the word out about Urban Planning. Through a video series of brief interviews, we hope to delineate what Urban Planning as a field of study is all about. We will be talking to students, alumni, faculty, and planning professionals to ask them “What’s UP?”

Urban planning
Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the use of land, protection and use of the environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks. Urban Planning is also referred to as urban and regional, regional, town, city, rural planning or some combination in various areas worldwide. Urban planning takes many forms and it can share perspectives and practices with urban design.
Urban planning guides and ensures the orderly development of settlements and satellite communities which commute into and out of urban areas or share resources with it. Urban planners in the field are concerned with research and analysis, strategic thinking, architecture, urban design, public consultation, policy recommendations, implementation and management.
Urban Planners work with the cognate fields of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Public Administration to achieve strategic, policy and sustainability goals. Early urban planners were often members of these cognate fields. Today urban planning is a separate, independent professional discipline. The discipline is the broader category that includes many different sub-fields such as land-use planning, zoning, environmental planning, transportation planning, and Parks and Recreation.
