B: Developing and acquiring knowledge of the Urban Society through, but not limited to: investigating and disseminating information concerning urban problems and their potential solutions, developing expertise in the various area of urban theory on the part of UPSN members, promoting investigation into practical realities of urban problems, and learning about legislation and judicial decisions concerning urban problems.

C: Planning, and implementing a demonstration project on the CSUN Campus that embodies Urban Planning principles regarding equity, transportation, sustainability, and/or community development.

We hope you consider joining UPSN! We are open to all students who love urban studies and planning. UPSN sponsors activities such as fundraisers, guest speakers and social events.
