Urban Planning College (French: Ecole superieure d'amenagement et d'urbanisme) is a university in Ethiopia. It was founded in 1960s by the bilateral agreement between the French and Ethiopian Government.
It was intended to train higher technicians serving Ethiopian cities. In early years of its establishment French was medium of instruction, which later was taught as a credited course. The college was known for its unique multi-disciplined training in architecture, planning and civil engineering.
In 1996 it was incorporated within the Ethiopian Civil Service College and renamed as the Faculty of urban studies. Since then the faculty has organized itself under Ethiopian civil service college to continue its central role in the development of Ethiopian urban areas.
Famous quotes containing the words urban, planning and/or college:
“I have misplaced the Van Allen belt
the sewers and the drainage,
the urban renewal and the suburban centers.
I have forgotten the names of the literary critics.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“My consciousness-raising group is still going on. Every Monday night it meets, somewhere in Greenwich Village, and it drinks a lot of red wine and eats a lot of cheese. A friend of mine who is in it tells me that at the last meeting, each of the women took her turn to explain, in considerable detail, what she was planning to stuff her Thanksgiving turkey with. I no longer go to the group.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
