Planning and Sustainability

Planning and Sustainability is a multidisciplinary program that focuses on two of our most precious resources – the environment and the people who live and work in it. The program—the largest of its kind in the western United States—takes a holistic approach to understanding the diverse planning and land use challenges of California’s communities. From policy and analysis to design and implementation, our program meets the continuing education needs of planners, attorneys, resource managers, government officials, developers and others involved in land use planning and the management of environmental resources.
