I am looking for any/all advice from anyone in an Urban Development/City Management program....
what programs do you recommend?
did you consider a masters in planning instead? what pushed you towards the mpa?
how important is location? (will you get a better expereince in a more urban setting?)
Any and all advice is welcome! I am interested in a career in City Management or with urban economic development and trying to figure out which programs are the best fit. I have a background in government/policy and experience in administration, but little experience with planning/urban issues.
