Course Description

Urbanism reflects the global shift from agricultural to predominantly urban societies, in which people’s primary relationships are increasingly shaped by proximity to one another rather than proximity to land. This course examines the political and economic forces that shape cities and evaluates how urbanization affects human welfare in both the Global South and Global North. The course is designed as an intensive summer seminar meeting six times for extended sessions.
