Embryo of ITS’s Urban and Regional Planning Department (PWK) is the City Planning and Design Laboratory of the ITS Architecture Department, which is one of the laboratories in the ITS Architecture Department.

The idea of ​​establishing a Planology Department was launched around the eighty-five years by Dr. Ir. Herbasuki Wibowo, MUP, who was then Head of the City Planning and Design Laboratory. This idea was followed up by accepting new lecturers from Planology education backgrounds, namely Ir. Subandrio, Ir. Sardjito, Ir. Eko Budi Santosa, and Ir. Putu Rudy Satiawan. However, this idea had not received a response and the formation of the Planology Department could not be realized at that time.

The internal party that supports the establishment of the Planology Department is the Chair of the Department of Architecture which was then held by Prof. Dr. Ir. Happy Ratna S, MSc, and the Dean of the FTSP ITS which was then held by Prof. Dr. Ir. Nadjadji, MSc. The external party that provided written support was the Chair of the ITB Planology Engineering Department, which was then held by Dr. Ir. Heru Purboyo, MSc.
