U.S. News and World Report has named urban planning one of its 50 top careers for 2010.
Growth in population is cited as a reason for growth in the demand for urban planners.
"An expanding population has created the need for additional transportation systems, affordable housing, and schools in many parts of the country. The urban and regional planning field is expected to grow 19 percent from 38,400 jobs in 2008 to 45,700 jobs by 2018. Most of the new jobs will be with state and local governments."
