I found the Professional Certificate in Urban Planning (Advanced) to be a solid course that covered a wide range of topics. As someone working in the urban development sector in Egypt, I was looking to gain more knowledge on transportation planning and management. The course delivered on this, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications. The instructors were knowledgeable, and the online discussions were engaging. One area for improvement could be the addition of more regional case studies, but overall, I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend the course to others in the field.
