The College of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila is one of the twelve Undergraduate schools of the University. It is given the task to assist and cooperate with the city government in terms of planning and designing some open spaces in Manila.

History

The College of Arhitecture and Urban Planning used to be part of the PLM College of Engineering and Technology until it was granted approval to function as a separate college on June 2001, with Architect Wilfredo Gacutan as its Dean, and Architect Gil Evasco as Secretary.

In 2008, many positive changes occurred in the university, including the transfer of the College to a new building next to the Gusaling Villegas on the side of General Luna Street opposite the Department of Labor and Employment building at the PLM Main Campus in Intramuros, Manila.

Curricular offerings

The College of Architecture and Urban Planning has the following degree programs:
* Bachelor of Science in Architecture
* Bachelor of Science in Urban Planning & Development

The freshman and sophomore years are focused primarily on pre-architecture and general education coursework, typically within the PLM College of Liberal Arts, after which students transfer into the architecture or urban planning & development programs.

The architecture program's focus is placed on introducing students to the skills, knowledge and perceptions of various architectures in relation to their greater environment. On the other hand, the field of urban planning & development is devoted on the field of planning, housing and economic development and urban design.
