Urban and Regional Planning is a highly multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary academic pursuit. The first-degree programme exposes students to all aspects of Town Planning but allow them to pursue special areas of interest towards the end of the programme. Such areas include Land Use Planning, Metropolitan Planning, Urban Design, Regional Planning, Urban Management, Planning Model Making. This makes it difficult to mount a single course in entrepreneurship in the last year of study. There are six areas that lead themselves to a highly successful entrepreneurial development in Urban and Regional Planning, viz: Student are to acquire general and specific Entrepreneurship skills. Therefore, students are also required to take at least one area of the following entrepreneurship areas; 1. Advocacy planning, Representation of Client in Town Planning, Development Control Offices and the Urban and Regional Planning Tribunals; 2. Collection and processing the urban information for use by various interest groups in the city including Local and State Governments, Transport Authorities, Traffic Management Authorities and Institutions of higher learning; 3. Urban Landscape Planning and Design where students will acquire basic skills in elements of Horticulture; 4. Generation and processing of Urban Management Information System. Street Naming and Property Numbering Techniques. Methods of delineating urban wards, neighborhoods and districts; 5. Planning Model Making such as 3-dimensional presentation techniques; 6. GIS and its application to Urban Planning and Development; and 7. Urban Management and Utility Planning just to name but a few.
