DPU - Development Planning Unit
Development Planning Unit (The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment - University College London)
The Development Planning Unit (DPU) is an international centre specialising in academic teaching, practical training, research and consultancy in the field of urban and regional development, planning, and management. It is concerned with promoting sustainable forms of development, understanding rapid urbanisation and encouraging innovation in the policy, planning and management responses to the economic, social and environmental development of cities and regions, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The central purpose of the DPU is to strengthen the professional and institutional capacity of governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to deal with the wide range of issues that are emerging at all levels. The DPU's multi-disciplinary and multi-national staff offer specialised courses both in London and abroad for the staff of central government departments, local authorities, NGOs and the private sector. These courses are supported by international agencies as well as by national and provincial governments.
The academic staff of the DPU is a multi-disciplinary group of 17 professionals and academics (embracing eleven different nationalities), all with extensive and on-going research and professional experience in various fields of urban and institutional development throughout the world. The DPU Associates is a body of professionals who work closely with the Unit both in London and overseas.
