Resource and environmental planning is a creative interdisciplinary process that deals with both the natural and human dimensions of the world around us. It recognises and promotes the interdependence of our economy, communities and natural environment.

Planners shape the places in which we live, work and play. They design more liveable, sustainable and resilient cities and regions that respond to rapid economic, environmental, political and technological changes. They help to make sense of the changing world, and design solutions that are innovative, feasible, democratic and sustainable. Planners reconcile conflicting interests by finding common ground to help people create innovative options, then implement agreed-upon solutions.?

Resource and environmental planners design cities and urban areas that are innovative and vibrant, with character and aesthetic appeal.?

They also design efficient and accessible transport systems, create neighbourhoods that are safe and affordable, design productive rural areas that balance economic and environmental goals, and help foster natural areas that conserve indigenous flora and fauna, providing opportunities for active recreation and appreciation and enjoyment of our unique biodiversity. They address the causes and effects of climate change.

The Bachelor of Resource and Environmental Planning is delivered by?Massey University.
