Dept. of Urban Planning & Engineering
Introducing our department.
Urban engineering is the study of the development, conservation, and systematic management of national lands and cities, which are the places of life for all citizens. The main goal of urban engineering is to "promote public welfare" for the people. To this end, urban engineering has traditionally developed to encompass not only the planning of urban infrastructure facilities such as roads, water and sewage systems, but also various detailed related fields such as development of new cities and industrial estates, transportation, land use, and urban design.
Educational Goals
- Training of innovative smart city professionals
- Fostering Practical Spatial Big Data Analysis Experts
- Fostering experts in integrated urban development and management
- Fostering creative advanced urban transportation professionals
Introducing Our Department's Distinctive Programs
Distinctive Program
- Smart Urban Planning and Management Program
- Cultivate the ability to understand and apply smart urban planning and management techniques in order to respond to the rapidly changing urban planning environment and to seek the direction of future urban planning.
- Acquire smart urban planning and management techniques by developing the ability to understand and solve urban problems through understanding and analysis of urban big data.
- Acquire relevant knowledge to establish a smart governance system, including public decision support plans for smart cities and management, and citizen participation techniques to promote citizen participation.
- Spatial Big Data Analysis Program
- Cultivate an understanding of spatial big data analysis methods for new urban planning and management and the ability to apply these methods in practice
- Cultivate the ability to support policy making through spatial big data analysis to help planners make decisions by identifying current urban spatial issues, predicting future urban changes, and converting the analysis results into information.
- Cultivate the ability to create new data through the construction of digital twin spatial data and its integration with non-spatial data for the realization of smart urban planning
Department pride
In 1965, the first urban planning-related department was established among Japanese universities.
The operation of the Urban Planning/Transportation Planning Engineer class has produced the highest level of successful engineers in the nation.
Departmental Club
-
01
PPAThe PPA Society was first founded in 2006. PPA stands for Pre Planners Association, which means a group of future planners. Here, planner means urban planner. Our society therefore aims to improve knowledge related to academics and the use of computer tools through learning, and to deepen friendship among seniors and even juniors. In addition, we are not a rigid academic society where all we do is study, but an academic circle that also engages in outdoor activities for the purpose of friendship, such as MT, exploration, and so on.

02
Dotbogi <Dotbogi>is an abbreviation of Urban Bogi, an academic society that fits well with the atmosphere of the Department of Urban Planning and Engineering and has established itself with a good image among the surrounding alumni. The purpose of Dotbogi was established on December 27, 2003, in order to inform juniors of the vision of the Department of Urban Planning and to create a foundation for preliminary studies and our own personal development, led by seniors, as much as possible. The Department of Urban Planning was created to inform junior members of the vision of the Department. We are also engaged in research activities in a free form, such as inspection tours, surveys of current conditions, advantages and disadvantages, and characteristics, discussion, debate, presentations, and sometimes a simple quiz-style question and answer session.
