Thank you for this video! I'm literally stuck between a rock and a hard place 😂 I did my undergrad in Property development and planning and I'm trying to do my master's in Planning and Urban leadership or something similar because I like the design aspect of it but.. I can't seem to even find planning jobs. I keep seeing Building Surveyor jobs and now I feel like for security I need to do my master's in building surveying 🥲

i have a bachelors in urban planning.. i would like to see what options i have for myself .. after watching this video i learned alot thank you

Watching this 4 years late but thank you for this video! I’m a geographer and I’m excited to get into urban planning!

Hi! I’m getting my masters in sustainability and urban planning is what my thesis will be on. Can I interview you in the coming months?

do you have any thoughts on converting office buildings into housing?

Fire intro out of nowhere

Hi Sadiyah, thank you for sharing your journey on here. I am an urban planner myself, based in South Africa. I am trying to navigate through the job market abroad, do you perhaps have any tips on how to go about finding jobs for international candidates? And have you personally ever considered working for government?

I'm super interested in urban planning, but I don't like GIS much (took the intro class last year). How important is GIS to the field? Is it worth minoring in during college? Or is an intro class enough

Would it be possible for someone in urban planning to pivot to a career in urban design or vice versa with some training? How transferable are the skill you learned in urban planning to other careers?

Hi Quesa,please checkout(The Real South Africa)owned by the african americans couple

New subscriber,smart video & please return stay longer,then relocate here in South Africa 🇿🇦❤

do you know anything about urban planning as a minor & where that can get you as a career? since it's not a major let alone getting a masters degree

A county ripe with crime, power outages. It is far from beautiful, The Cape is not a large place at all and over populated.

Hey I’m glad u mentioned the power of networks!!! I’m in South Africa for context and as a professional I totally I agree with your viewpoints🙌🏽

i started getting really interested in urban planning after visiting a lot of diff cities and i came across this video! as a fellow hijabi muslim, thanks sister! ❤

I'm also a Sadiyah and an Urban Planner ❤

Amazing, great work ❤

public administration can come a urban planner i need answer

❤

i have a financial background degree-wise. is it possible to try the masters program without prior experience or knowledge in planning?

We need more videos like this!!

I completely feel the same about the reality of the work. I asked a teacher at a school more and more about the job, but I noticed that there clearly is no eye for the residents. If it is, it's usually an afterthought. In my opinion, visionaries are needed. Otherwisa we'll keep building stuff that disappoints and turns our society to sadness

Any time I have second thoughts about attending grad school this fall I watch your videos and I am excited to move through this path <3

Could you suggest me to where to study urban planning?

This was super cool to watch. Loved it.

❤❤❤

I withdrew from this major five years ago. However, after watching this video, I feel compelled to go back. I was the only Muslim woman in the cohort and I didn't give myself enough time to adjust…. I'm a teacher now, but I would love going back and finish that master's degree.Thanks, sister!

Love this video and your channel. So much insight.

You're beautiful ❤️

Thank you for this! I’m looking to switch careers and would love to see a video on your other book to get a better understanding of the field😊✨

This was so helpful. Thank you so much!

Sadiyah, thank you for sharing your story and comments on the experience your career, and tips for aspiring professionals. I feel like I learned something important about a career urban planning. I can relate about the struggle to find a place in career and finding opportunities blocked because of not having enough technical skills. That's how I went back to school for GIS, in fact. Now I'm working as a GIS Technician and finding that it's not enough to fulfill my interests with helping people. Wishing you best of luck on your career in Philly :)

What a very inspiring video! I’m currently obtaining my undergraduate in urban and regional planning with a minor in sustainable urban development. I’m half through college already and this information was very helpful. And I do I have to agree with you about the internships! I am a junior, and I am currently trying to apply to various planning internships and they require lots of skills that I haven’t experienced yet. It’s been very frustrating but it’ll payoff eventually.

I am peter from Kenya and i have watched this video more than once since I was in second year and now I am in fourth year. I keep referring to this vlog coz it reminds the roles of an urban planner. Thanks for this content❤❤

How come you were able to take the GRE after the application deadline?

9:42 just sounded like he was curious

You sound like you lost most of your American accent 😂

I like it

Thank you for this. Btw you sound like Chrisette Michelle 😊

Thanks for the honesty.

Very well explained.

Love this! Thank you for going in depth about not only the logistics of the field but your personal ties to that area of interest from a young age! Just found your page and as some one trying to work up the courage to attend a MURP program for grad school, your insight is so so helpful. What mentors did you find in the field/best advice you've been given?

Thank you, this was very helpful and really broke it down! Congrats on your acceptances and best of luck in your program!

Hey girl, I just want to say i really appreciate you making this video. Im on my final year of undergrad for polisci and have had a growing intrest in urban planning for over a year now. I have some more questions on the field and i would love to talk through email if you dont mind!

How hard is an urban planning master? Is it tuff? Because I might take my master's. I graduated with an Economics Bachelors degree.

Mashallah

I am a mech E graduate considering a career change and this was a great perspective. I am a white man and many of the people I see talking about this on RUclips are also white men. I appreciate the comment you made at the end to not go in thinking you know better than the residents, but have some humility and willingness to hear other people’s opinions. That is a difficult thing to do bc I think we tend to have our optimal ideal of how cities should be laid out but what’s great for one person may not be for someone else. So listening to the residents should always be a central part of the job.

You're so beautiful baby
