NSAPD is the only college offering a B.Plan degree under VTU affiliation in Karnataka. We nurture our students to be more creative, versatile, and ingenious as it is a blend of both architecture and engineering. The Urban Planning Degree Program gives students extensive knowledge of spatial planning, designing, technology-oriented knowledge, and knowledge that enables the health and well-being of urban and rural communities. Students are exposed to learning about the unheeded.

An engineer constructs a structure with safety and functionality. An architect creates the building more aesthetically appealing, including its appearance and function. Whereas an urban planner heeds the necessity of the urban community by planning on a larger scale.

But Who Plans for a City/Region?

Urban planners decide where to put structures and how to use land to serve the needs of the neighborhood. Although not engineers or architects, urban planners and developers have some characteristics of both of these professions.

Who are planners, and what do they do?

When we browse the Internet to learn about the urban planning and development industry, we only learn about event planners, wedding planners, website planners, and other related professionals. None of the aforementioned is done by the planner we are speaking of. The question of what an urban planner does now emerges. What do they do?

Global Cities from recent decades are facing dynamic growth and development, making it inevitable to plan for their citizen's sustainable living. Urban Planning and Development aims to improve the quality of life for both the users living in an urban or rural area. They deal with various fields of study like Statistics, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Political Science, History, Environment and Landscape, Land cover, Land use, Geographic Information System, Infrastructure, Transportation, Urban Design, Housing, and Real estate. This makes a planner fit into any field for development. With the impetus for development in India, a shrinking world is a boon for good planners with a global outlook who can plan developmental growth, migration patterns, and sustainable green lifestyles, retaining high standards of delivery and an attitude to learn and change the trends of sustainable urbanism.
