The Urban and Rural Planning program at Zhejiang A&F University is an undergraduate degree that trains students to design, analyze, and manage the development of urban and rural environments in a way that is sustainable, functional, and socially responsive. The curriculum integrates knowledge from architecture, landscape design, geography, economics, environmental science, and public policy, covering key areas such as urban design, land use planning, regional development, transportation systems, environmental impact assessment, and community planning. Students learn to use modern planning tools, including geographic information systems (GIS), spatial analysis, and digital modeling, to create plans that balance economic growth, ecological protection, cultural heritage, and quality of life. Through studio projects, case studies, and fieldwork, the program emphasizes practical problem-solving and collaboration with government agencies, developers, and communities. Graduates are prepared for careers in urban and rural planning agencies, design institutes, government departments, real estate and development firms, and environmental consultancies, where they contribute to sustainable urbanization, rural revitalization, and harmonious land-use strategies.
