What are the advantages of studying urban planning in a city like Milwaukee?
A number of advantages arise from studying planning in a city like Milwaukee. First, the size of the city is large enough to provide students with an opportunity to study first-hand the issues and problems associated with large urban areas. A large metro area like Milwaukees affords a large number of opportunities for internships and class projects. The area provides learning opportunities in both older redeveloping contexts and newer, fast-growth suburban contexts. As with any big city, cultural diversity is another advantage. Faculty, clients for class projects, and students represent a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and values.
