Master of Architecture (Urban Design) 

Cities are one of the best inventions of humankind. Defined as economic engines, human agglomerations, and the fields of intense energy, cities are habitats for all kinds of culture. The joy of life in cities is one of the strong forces to attract people towards urban areas. Like living organisms, cities also originate, grow and expand; this process of life of the city is critical for us to understand. The urban design programme at SPA Bhopal aims to imbibe knowledge to the students to invent newer approaches to the issues of urbanity in Indian and Asian cities through the process of collaboration and amalgamation between the disciplines of architecture and planning.
