Sustainable Planning and Development
Description
Seneca's Sustainable Planning and Development certificate program answers these questions by situating sustainability at the forefront of urban planning. The courses in our part-time certificate program are designed for anyone who has an interest in planning: from those who are already working professionals who wish to advance their career development to those who have no formal training in planning. Through an 11 course program, you will be introduced to both academic and practical knowledge that is designed to support you in the development of the hands-on skills required to work in planning.
In our certificate program, you will learn about Ontario's legal framework as related to planning, explore issues of environmental sustainability, discuss emerging planning technology and urban design trends, be introduced mobility and transit planning, and explore the need for increased social equity within the planning discipline. Upon the completion of our program, you will be able to advance planning across the public, private, and civil society sectors in Ontario and beyond.
The Canadian Association of Certified Planning Technicians (CACPT) has granted full accreditation to the Seneca College's Sustainable Planning and Development certificate program. Please see the associations page for more details on how to become a Certified Planning Technician (CPT). You can view the list of accredited college programs across Canada on the CACPT website.
