2009 Final Program

USC SCHOOL OF POLICY, PLANNING, AND DEVELOPMENT www.usc.edu/sppd 2009 Celebrating 80 Years of Shaping the World Since 1929, SPPD has been at the forefront of urban planning education and research. Drawing on its strengths in urban policy, economic development, transportation, and international policy and management, SPPD cultivates professional planners who are ready to step into leadership roles in their specialty. SPPD’s structure reflects the multidisciplinary approaches that urban planners need to make an impact on our world. Degree programs in public administration, public policy, health administration, real estate development, and leadership enrich the urban planning experience at SPPD, and expand students’ access to outstanding scholars and leaders. Global Learning: SPPD’s international laboratories bring students to Asia, South America, and Europe annually to contribute to planning practices abroad. Students from 45 countries currently matriculate at SPPD. Leading Research: SPPD research engages in real-world problem solving on planning issues such as the housing and financial crises, energy and the environment, Smart Growth and healthy cities, urbanism and urban design, globalization and development, infrastructure, collaborative governance, immigration, terrorism and mass emergencies, and transportation challenges in metropolitan areas. Local Impact: This year, SPPD Master of Planning students advised the San Bernardino City Council on urban watershed issues, the San Dimas City Council on their general plan update, and the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency on rapid transformation issues in parts of downtown L.A. Students met with local planning directors and traded ideas about sustainability and healthy communities with local real estate developers.
