The geographic location of the University provides a wide variety of academic and practical opportunities for advanced inquiry by the planning student. First, the vast research and teaching facilities of the greater University are available to students enrolled for the M.U.P. degree. Libraries, laboratories, research institutions, lecture series, and computer centers serve as educational resources. Second, the City of Ann Arbor, with a population of over 120,000 people, is a lively and urbane living environment. Its cultural and social offerings are varied, and its citizens are politically informed and involved in the continued improvement of their community. Third, the College is proximate to Detroit and its suburban and rural surroundings. These contrasting environments provide a comparative base for investigation by the student and increase his or her understanding of the breadth of urban and regional planning concerns.
