Hi there, I am actually a designer before and now I'm a urban planner. For me, I found there are many common points between Urban Planning and Design, for example, they share the same basic design curriculum in early learning, have a good understanding of design is good for both. As a design major student, I recommend you to learn Planning related knowledge by yourself, thanks to technologies, we have more and more learning approaches from internet, you could find more on internet. For more details, you could leave a comment below. Good luck.

Thank you for your question, this is the trend of planning education in the future. In the future planning education, the boundaries between disciplines will not be fixed as they are now. It can be said that there is no clear concept of discipline. For example, MIT has few applied mathematicians, because in the MIT discipline, applied mathematics is dispensable, and applied mathematics as a basic skill has long been integrated into all departments. The entire MIT is a huge department of applied

I trying to tell the relationship between urban geography and urban planning. Urban geography and urban planning are totally independent disciplines. There are fundamental differences between the two disciplines in terms of research approach, techniques and practices,etc. Urban geography is a geography discipline that studies the nature and distribution of urban geography. Promote the comprehensive coordinated and sustainable development of urban and rural economy and society as the fundamental task, promote the use of land science as the basis, and promote the fundamental improvement of human settlements, covering the spatial layout planning of urban and rural residential areas. Both of them take the city as the research object, however, the research direction is fundamentally different, the urban geography studies the development of the urban and rural structure, studies the formation and development of each city from the perspective of geography, and studies the structural relationship and urban system of the urban system within a certain region. The law of development and evolution is theoretically strong. The main purpose of the urban system planning in urban planning is to take the coordinated development of urban and rural areas from the overall perspective of the region as a whole, and to guide the rational layout and coordinated development of various towns. The overall urban planning is the urban development goal and development scale in a certain period of time, layout and comprehensive deployment and implementation measures of various constructions, guiding and regulating urban construction, and important basis and means for protecting and managing urban space resources. The relationship between urban geography and urban planning. Urban geography provides theoretical guidance for urban planning and is applied to the practice of urban planning. Urban planning provides research topics for urban geography, research materials and practical argumentation, and promotes the continuous enrichment and perfection of urban geography theory.
