Introduction
Cambodia in the last decades has experienced with rapid urban growth, not only in the capital city, but those at the secondary and axis road of corridor towns and those along the border. We have also experienced with growing urban problem ranging from traffic concession, housing issues, infrastructure and services, lack of jobs in the cities, the increased impacts from natural disaster like urban floods, air quality and the loss of historical and architectural heritage of the cities. The lack of comprehensive skills, knowledge, positive attitude to inclusive urban growth, the need for qualified human resources on urban planning and development is seen as important factors to enhance sustainable urban development.
Department of Sustainable Urban Planning and Development (DSUPD) was established by Prakas of MoEYS No.868 Date 25th May 2022 (the link here), to provide undergraduate programs for sustainable urban planning and development. With technical and financial support from the Ministry of Education in Korea, this program is jointly established by the technical working group of the Faculty of Development Studies (FDS), Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) and the International School of Urban Sciences (ISUS), University of Seoul (UOS) Korea. Navigated by the slogan of “Shape Your City Smarter, Build Your Future Better”, the goal of the program is to cultivate comprehensive urban planning experts in response to Cambodian Urban Growth. It is expected that student can learn not only theories, but also various urban planning practices at the classroom using smart technologies. Our teaching staff include RUPP faculty members, experienced professors from the University of Seoul who can teach face to face and through online by using smart classroom and policy makers, experts from lined ministries, Phnom Penh Capital of Administration (PPCA) and developed partners.
Curriculum
This is a four-year program. In the first year, students learn basic skills and become familiar with university life. The second year focuses on the fundamental theory and practice of urban planning. The third year exposes students to various specialized urban planning areas, and the final year covers advanced theory, practice, and a thesis or internship.
