Urban Planning

Anyone here study urban planning or work as an urban planner? I had been studying federally funded bicycle and pedestrian programs for a bicycle advocacy organization but just got a new job as the Safe Routes to School Coordinator for a local school system. I plan to pursue a masters next fall and was curious if any other skiers are in the field. If so, what do you do or where do you go to school.

Cheers!

My cousin's studying urban planning at Cornell. He's more about big cities, so idk. He actually worked on a project this summer involving the new Minnesota Vikings stadium, which is kinda cool. It was super secretive.

^ I know a couple of architects and have made it very very clear to never use aluminum for handrails.

Not in it but it seems neat. Would be cool to learn how to read blueprints and such
