In what sub-fields of urban planning can I specialise at McGill?
The school offers two formal specialisations: one in Transportation Planning, and one in Urban Design. The core program allows students to specialise, albeit without formal recognition, in land-use planning and regulation, community planning, environmental planning, transportation planning, and international development planning. Specialisation in other areas is possible as well but requires more collaboration with professors from other units. As said, the School does not encourage specialisation for its own sake; a general education in planning is a solid basis for early practice in a variety of sub-fields, and good generalists are in short supply.
