都市研究与计划系所成立于公元1932年,是美国第二个成立的都市计划系所,今日则是美国最大的都市计划系所之一。本系所专精于从实务来推导理论,对于决策如何执行和对受影响者所造成的冲击和益处特别注重。
本系提供的课程包括了五个领域:城市设计与发展、环境政策团体、住屋、社群和经济发展、国际发展和区域规划、规划支援体系。还有两个不授与学位的学程,一个是反应社群实务中心,给在职社会运动者参加;另一个则是都市和区域研究特别计划,给发展中国家的在职专家参与。
学生有很多的机会可以实地和教授们处理真实世界所遭遇到的规划问题。本系提供将理论学术研究和田野调查研究结合的机会,也是最吸引人的特色之一。

MIT 的Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) 是一个极具代表性及开创性的科系。60、70年代,Kevin Lynch任教时,奠定了基调及走向。Lynch着有Image of City, What Time is This Place, A Theory of Good City Form等等指标性书籍。除了多元化参与、过程管理(facilitating)外,也注重整合建筑、都市与自然的环境设计。

The Department of Urban Studies and Planning, established in 1932, was the second planning department in the U.S. and today is one of the largest planning departments nationally. DUSP excels at theorizing from practice and is particularly interested in how decisions are implemented and the impacts and benefits on those affected.
The department offers degree programs in the five specialization areas: City Design and Development (CDD), Environmental Policy Group (EPG), Housing, Community, and Economic Development (HCED), International Development and Regional Planning (IDRP) and Planning Support Systems (PSS). There are also two non-degree programs, the Center for Reflective Community Practice (CRCP) for mid-career community activists and the Special Program for Urban and Regional Studies (SPURS) for mid-career professionals in developing countries.
A wide range of field-based opportunities are available for students to work in collaboration with faculty on real-world planning problems. This unique tie between theoretical academic studies and field-based action research is one of the continuing allures of the program.
