Urban Planner

An Urban Planner creates strategies for the use of land in particular geographical areas. You might assess the future needs of an area and take into account other factors such as environmental concerns, economic development or predicted population growth. Urban Planners may liaise with stakeholders such as government officials or property developers.

Urban Planners should have strong analytical skills and be able to consider the needs of various groups in a community. It’s important you can communicate well and be confident working with people from a range of backgrounds. Urban Planners must be organised and able to manage several tasks at one time.
