HUPO
HUPO serves the urban planning students at the GSD by organizing a wide variety of events and resources to enhance the educational and professional development of Master of Urban Planning (MUP) students.
We loved seeing so many MUPs in one room tonight! Thanks to everyone who brought their ideas to the table to support the continued growth and improvement of the Urban Planning program at the @harvardgsd. #planning #harvard #progress
MUPs take SF! Urban planners scattered the globe last week doing site visits for studio and project-based courses. In this combined MLA-UPD studio course, titled Phantom Coast: Transforming San Francisco's Eastern Waterfront, students are working to reimagine the use of San Francisco's seawall as more than just a piece of important resilience infrastructure against sea level rise and earthquakes. #urbanplanning #sanfrancisco #tandem #bikes

On September 15, HUPO participated in City of Cambridge PARK(ing) Day by setting up a community engagement booth by Porter Square. The booth featured live music, building blocks, lounging areas, and a poster where participants could write down their design ideas.
