U.S. News and World Report voted urban planning among the 50 best careers for 2011. An increasing 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 over 10 years, from 38,400 jobs in 2008 to 45,700 jobs by 2018, according to the Labor Department.
