The Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences at Delft University of Technology has four departments: Architecture, Urbanism, Building Technology and Real Estate & Housing.

Urbanism is the academic discipline that is concerned with understanding the spatial organization and dynamics of urban areas; and with comparing, evaluating and inventing new ways to maintain the balance between public and private, the built and the unbuilt, and local and global perspectives. Urbanism underpins practical action to shape the urban environment in a sustainable way.

The department of Urbanism in the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology was established in 1948 and since then has contributed to academic knowledge of the urban environment and design and planning interventions. It provides education for reflective professional practice. The Department aims to maintain its leading position, both in the Netherlands and abroad.

The strong tradition of urbanism in the urbanized delta of the Netherlands presents special opportunities for contributing to knowledge and education. The multidisciplinary approach in Dutch urbanism integrates urban design and landscape architecture with technical engineering and spatial planning. Further development building on this experience is needed to address the great challenges of sustainable development: the effects of climate change in delta areas, mobility and connectivity in metropolitan regions, transformation of brownfields, revitalizing post-war neighborhoods, and the making of high quality public space.

The department is committed to an international perspective, sharing expertise, research and education with partners in other countries. Our strong networks at the European and global levels will continue to be an important means for developing and disseminating knowledge.

代尔夫特理工大学建筑、城市规划及建筑技术学院包含四个院系：建筑系、城市规划系、建筑技术系以及房地产系。

城市规划作为一个独立的学科着重关注对城市区域空间组织和变化的理解，对比、评估和发掘新的方式来维持城市中公共和私有之间的平衡、已建区和未建区的关系以及地方化与全球化发展远景的关联。城市规划学科为城市建设实践活动以可持续性方式展开提供支持。

自1948年成立，代尔夫特理工大学建筑学院城市规划系不断在城市环境学术理论方面和设计实践活动方面作出贡献。它教育具有思想性的专业实践人才。城市规划系的发展目标是保持它在荷兰乃至国际范围内的领先地位。

荷兰高度城镇化的三角洲地带据有浓厚的城市规划传统。这个传统呈现出了对学术和教育方面的特殊贡献。荷兰城市规划的多学科融合手法将城市设计、景观建筑与工程技术、空间规划结合。以此为基础的进一步发展需要着重关注可持续发展的重大挑战，比如气候变化对三角洲地带的影响，大都市区域的交通问题，废弃工业区的转型，战后社区的再生以及高质量公共空间的营造。

城市规划系致力于国际化发展前景、分享专业知识、以及与国际合作伙伴进行研究和教育方面的交流活动。我们在欧洲及国际范围内的强有力的合作网将继续是我们创造和传播知识的重要手段。
