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.

“The gay world that flourished in the half-century between 1890 and the beginning of the Second World War, a highly visible, remarkably complex, and continually changing gay male world, took shape in New York City.... It is not supposed to have existed.”
—George Chauncey, U.S. educator, author. Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940, p. 1, Basic Books (1994)
“Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Placing too much importance on where a child goes rather than what he does there . . . doesn’t take into account the child’s needs or individuality, and this is true in college selection as well as kindergarten.”
—Norman Giddan (20th century)
