Municipal or Urban Engineering

Municipal or Urban Engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering and is the study of the design of municipal infrastructure, such as streets, sidewalks, parking lots, water supplies, sewer systems, utilities, lighting, etc. Municipal and urban engineers are often civil engineers who may work directly for public agencies or be outside consultants hired by those public agencies. Additionally, jurisdictions in some cases will provide civil engineering review of private land development projects prior to construction approvals being granted.
