The guest covers in the interview the backgrounds that are considered and other backgrounds. Since Urban planning also involves data analysis, other backgrounds should be able to enter if they learn to apply skills to this area as well.

I would like to ask the same question that @user-pv2dy2sq5s has asked. I have a bachelors in engineering, then a masters in supply chain and logistics management. What are the prospects for a person with my credentials to shift into urban planning or urban infrastructure? A response would be highly appreciated.
