Urban Planner Ranked Among Top 50 Jobs of 2010
U.S. News & World Report has ranked urban planning as one of the top 50 jobs for 2010 with expected strong growth over the following decade. The article notes that expanding population requires investment in transportation, affordable housing, and schools—all of which require planning. It is projected that the field will grow by 19 percent from 38,400 to 45,700 jobs.
The article also contains a break down of the profession and what urban planners do on a day-to-day basis. Work in the field can include working diplomatically with competing stakeholders to come up with viable solutions, inspecting development sites for potential problems, and working with geographical information software to analysis and predict urban growth patterns. 12/28/2009
