Our mission is to provide online training for an impactful urban planning career.
Planetizen Courses is an independent resource for continued learning in the urban planning field.
Helping Planners Create Extraordinary Places
Planetizen has been the independent resource for planning news and resources since 2000. A diverse community of planners, urban designers, architects, students, and engaged citizens gathers at Planetizen to raise the level of conversation about the built and natural environments.
Planetizen Courses was born in 2006, inspired by those same foundational beliefs that founded Planetizen: that better informed and trained planners create extraordinary places.
