The Wagner Planner is an independent student journal of the Urban Planning Student Association (UPSA) at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University.

The Wagner Planner serves as a platform where students and alumni share their scholarly research, commentary on current urban planning discussions and policy issues, and exchange best practices and lessons from their personal and professional experience in planning and policy work.  In partnership with UPSA, the Wagner Planner works to add to students’ graduate experience by offering opportunities for robust inquiry, participation, and engagement.

The Urban Planning Student Association (UPSA) is a student-run organization whose mission is to help students develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of various planning issues. 

UPSA provides quality lectures and programming, which reflect the interests of students while introducing them to new ideas.  It also strives to improve and raise the profile of Wagner’s Urban Planning Program within the school and among other planning schools. It welcomes all students to participate in the organization and seeks to collaborate with other student groups to provide the best possible opportunities for all Wagner students.

UPSA’s weekly newsletter, MasterPlan, keeps its student and alumni community informed with the latest UPSA / urban planning events, job opportunities, resources, and more.  If interested, sign up to be part of its distribution list by completing this form.
