There is more focus on environmental and energy efficient solutions that are sustainable in the cities than there have ever been before. And it stops enough for the present. As cities evolve as the population grows and urbanization intensifies there is a need for planning of cities, so they can keep up with developments. This applies to everything from infrastructure to sewer systems, the expansion of roads to the location of education, housing and light rail.

You are taught in social science, economics, law, technology and politics, all of which have an impact on the major projects you might get to be in charge of. You will also be taught in energy optimization to improve the environmental conditions. There will obviously be many demands from the Ministry of the Environment when you first got started with a project in real life. And last but not least, you learn to use technical terms, tools and methods to calculate rankings, surveys, etc. Below are the mathematical sciences you good.

Besides all the heavy subjects like the above, you will also learn about hydrology, climatology and ecology, which helps you a lot in terms of how it is possible to build.
