URBN 2010 Introduction to Urban Studies


This course offers an interdisciplinary perspective on urban studies theories, principles, and practice. The course includes an analysis of the basic concepts and principles of urban studies, a review of urban policy in the United States, an introduction to the study of urban processes, an analysis of the relationship between public policy and planning, and of the structure of the urban environment. The course covers the theories of urbanism, the development of cities, methods of research and analysis of contemporary urban issues. The city of Paterson will be used as a recurring empirical example, though the course will also devote some attention to other U.S. cities and to cities in other countries.
