This is a professional holiday for those who have linked their lives to the development of cities, who make the urban environment beautiful, safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly.

The focus of urban planners is not only on individual buildings, but also on entire architectural complexes, districts, and cities. Before making a decision, an urban planner studies the territory, collecting as much information about it as possible. This profession requires a wide range of knowledge, spatial thinking, analytical skills, and communication skills.

You can get a profession of an architect-urban planner at the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The Department of Urban Planning of our university traces its history back to 1928. Among its graduates and teachers are prominent specialists in the field of architecture and urban planning. Students of the department participate in international competitions and projects, develop popular areas related to solving current urban problems.

We congratulate current and future urban planners on their holiday and wish them professional success!
