Guided by what is sought in the jobs I found, I think Urban Planning, Physical Science, Environmental Science, Computer Science, Transportation Planning and Political Science. I suggest that you search jobs websites for “Geographer” to see if any other areas are particularly mentioned.

You said that you’re interested in Public and Urban Affairs as a minor. What I would do is look at the courses entailed in that, and if the courses correspond largely to the courses in Urban Planning and/or the other areas identified as desired by employers, then it would be appropriate.
