Urban Planning and City Branding Graduate Programme
The Graduate programme “ Urban Planning & City Branding” at EIVP, Paris School of Urban Engineering provides a multidisciplinary perspective on complex, on-the-ground urban issues, including sustainable planning, mobility and urban governance.
The core of the programme is based on an Urban Planning Project, complemented by a series of seminars focusing on planning and transport issues, and a territorial marketing module. The courses, taught entirely in English, will give a significant place to case studies from international urban contexts. The program is completed by an immersion into France leading research Institution in Transport Planning and networks, IFSTTAR.
“Urban Planning and City Branding” is EIVP first ever 100% English-taught program and addresses both international students willing to expand their knowledge in urban engineering in the French environment and 3rd year EIVP students who seek to advance an international career.
