Urban engineering is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the design and management of infrastructure systems in urban areas. Urban engineers are responsible for: - Specifying, designing, constructing, and maintaining streets, sidewalks, water supply networks, sewers, street lighting, municipal solid waste management and disposal, storage depots for various bulk materials used for maintenance and public works, and public parks - Providing municipal engineering services, such as the supply of potable water, the removal and disposal of sewage, the protection of life and property from...
