URBN 10200. World Cities

This course introduces students from various disciplines to major cities and urban areas in the world. We review how and why they developed, what makes them unique and worth investigating, their physical and non-physical characteristics, what it might be like to live there, and what issues they may face in achieving a sustainable future. We read papers, watch videos, listen to guest speakers, analyze urban design elements, share the latest news, explore maps, tell stories, and discover world cities.
