Georgia Tech Planning Studios Tackle Top Urban Concerns
As the Nation’s cities watch Atlanta deal with the ups and downs of an ever-changing and industry-rich urban landscape, Georgia Tech’s School of City and Regional Planning studios serve as a barometer for the most crucial urban challenges. The School's faculty have close ties and long-held connections to planners in the city of Atlanta. The city's landscape is a testimony to Georgia Tech’s creativity and insight: The Atlanta Beltline, Atlantic Station, and Chattahoochee Now were all first imagined in SCaRP studios.
This semester, the School’s studios tackled issues of affordable housing, smart growth, a unique urban master plan, and sustainable cities.

Equity, Justice & Inclusive Design Fellowship
We believe it is essential that the next generation of planning leaders include those who come from communities of color. Their often-unheard voices must be amplified for us to create just, equitable, and inclusive communities for all.
In order to do so, we are creating two Equity, Justice & Inclusive Design Fellowships for aspiring graduate students who are Black, indigenous, or of color who need financial assistance to attend Georgia Tech. We have been awarding these fellowships since Fall 2021, and we need your help to expand our efforts.
