Rural Planning and Development Research

Overview

The program combines research, experiential learning and active involvement with faculty in order to create a stimulating learning environment in Canadian and International Rural Planning and Development fields. Our faculty are widely recognized for both their leadership in the profession and their contributions to the communities they serve. They practice planning and development both in Canada and internationally. Rural Planning and Development faculty research projects described can be located under the People in SEDRD page [1].

About Us

The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development (SEDRD) brings together major academic fields concerned with creating strong communities, in Canada and around the world. The four highly respected programs in SEDRD share many common goals but approach them in different and complementary ways. This model reflects the imperatives in building authentic communities where planners, landscape architects, communicators, and citizens all play important interdependent roles in community strength.
