Lauren Lind

My experience in the Boston University MCP program provided me with an understanding of the intricate balance between economic vitality, sustainability, and social equity. Each course taken during my time in the program pushed me to challenge myself to change my perception of the surrounding environment. The professors in the City Planning & Urban Affairs Department offer a diverse learning experience that combines academic theory with pragmatic solutions to provide students with the critical thinking skills necessary to solve real-world planning problems.
