Since 1950, there has been increasing demand for urban planners who have the ability to deal with rapid urbanization and environmental development. Therefore, the experts from Taiwan in the United Nations Association strongly recommended that the establishment of Department of Urban Planning in the National Cheng Kung University. Therefore, the first Department and the undergraduate program of Urban Planning in Taiwan was established in 1971. The department started to offer Master program since 1987, which was aiming at planning and design professional diversion to face difficult challenges of the environment planning, spatial planning and designing. In 1994, PhD program was established. Those who hold a Master's degree in related professional fields, such as urban planning, construction, land administration, civil engineering, environmental, and social sciences, etc., are welcomed to join it. The department is not only the first planning professional department but also the only one which offer the full degree programs, bachelor, master and PhD, in Taiwan. With the multi-talented faculty and well-equipped facilities, the department provides an optimal environment for studying urban/rural planning.

The department aims to train outstanding professionals in urban planning, urban design, urban development and urban management. Coping with the global knowledge-based developmental competition trend and in response to the world-class research university goal promulgated by the ministry of education, the department is working on building new urban and rural planning theory by integrating different study fields such as digital community, information technology, humanism, etc. With 40 years teaching and research development experiences, we had accumulated various of domain knowledge beside planning and design. Our teaching and research domains including:
* Regional and Urban Planning
* Urban Design and Development
* Urban Economics, Industrial and Community Development
* Urban Infrastructure and Transportation Planning
* Information Technology

The department also looks forward to strengthening cooperation with local departments and/or research centers as well as international institutions and agencies to broaden our world-views.

自1950年代開始,無論是台灣地區或其他自由民主國家,均先後面臨快速的都市化及其衍生之許多環境發展問題,對於都市規劃師的需求更是十分殷切。因此,在聯合國協台專家的強烈建議下,成功大學多方延攬建築、土木、社會、經濟…等相關領域之學者專家,率先於1971年8月在工學院成立都市計劃學系學士班,成為台灣最優質的空間規劃設計人才培育基地,並先後訓練出一千位以上優質的都市規劃設計專家。
爾後,鑑於發展環境日趨複雜,空間規劃設計工作的挑戰日益艱鉅,非常有需要培育專業與研究兼備的高級規劃與設計人才,因此,特別在1987年8月成立研究所碩士班,並開始進行規劃與設計專業分流,迄今並已培育出超出五百位以上碩士級之高階規劃與設計人才。1994年8月,為了全面研究與發展複雜的規劃設計知識體系,進一步成立博士班,招收都市計劃、建築、地政、土木、環境、社會科學…等相關領域碩士,進行以空間規劃與設計為共同核心之跨領域基礎研究,培育高等規劃設計研究人才;成為台灣地區頂尖大學中唯一同時培育學士、碩士與博士的規劃設計系所。
本系之設立乃為解決國內日益重要的都市發展資源,以使人的各種活動能分配到適切的土地資源,確保城鄉的健全發展。本系教學研究以時代趨勢為依歸,主要專長領域包括以下項目,對於都市及城鄉發展議題之客觀務實分析、規劃分析方法之紮實研究為本系主要發展特色。成立40餘年,本系長期關注與研究台灣地區都市與城鄉環境發展,已累積豐碩的研究與教學成果,對於推動國內都市計劃專業發展扮演關鍵角色。
* 區域及都市規劃
* 都市設計與開發
* 經濟產業與社區發展
* 都市工程與交通運輸
* 資訊支援系統
為進一步邁向國際頂尖系所,都市計劃系將關注與掌握全球化與環境快速變遷的機會,未來發展將朝向跨學域整合的方向,建立數位社區、資訊科技與人文整合之新城鄉理論及空間規劃。同時積極結合國際相關系所或研究單位,例如本系陸續與美國加州大學柏克萊分校、美國華盛頓大學、英國曼徹斯特大學、格拉斯哥大學、荷蘭台夫特大學…等名校之都市規劃與設計相關專業系所簽訂學術交流備忘錄或合作計畫,進行跨國規劃設計實習工作坊,積極推動交換師生、聯合授課、跨國研究等,藉由實質交流,兼顧本土化及跨國之研究,建立本系師生紮實的學理基礎與寬宏的國際學術觀。
