The UCLA planning faculty has long provided expertise and intellectual leadership for a broad swath of basic and applied research studies. Some of these are traditional strengths, while others represent new additions to the faculty and university. Our program is particularly strong in the areas of Community Development, Critical Studies of Cities and Regions, Culture and Ethnicity, Economic Development, the Environment, Gender and Planning, Housing, International Housing and Development, Regional Political Economy, Transportation, and Urban Design.
