It’s theoretically possible to complete a math major and the 3-2 program City and Regional Planning, but it could be super stressful. Here are the requirements for each program:

Cities major: 15 credits
Math major: 10 credits (starting from Calc 3; more if you haven’t had calculus in high school)
General education courses: 3-7 credits (I am not sure how many distribution requirements are covered by coursework for the Cities major)
Master’s degree from Penn: 10 net credits (14 credits, 4 of which may be double-counted from your undergraduate coursework)

That’s about 40 credits minimum. The “regular” courseload is 8 credits per year, so 40 credits would be doable over 5 years. However, that assumes that you wouldn’t take a single elective course outside of your two majors, and that you wouldn’t run into scheduling conflicts between courses for the math and cities major.
