The Faculty of Planning and Design conducts research and teaching in the fields of planning sciences and landscape architecture. The Faculty focuses on planning, design, construction and management of our environments. The strategy of P&D aligns broadly with the strategy of the AUI, in that the emphasis is on enhancing research, teaching, innovation and international collaboration. Further, the emphasis of activities within P&D on environmental issues and planning different land use contributes to distinguishing AUI from other universities in Iceland.
