About this Course

Urban areas are sites of constant tension and conflict as the pressures of urbanization reshape the urban landscape and impact our daily lives together. This course will critically examine the most pressing challenges in urban society and scrutinize the policies that aim to solve these challenges. Students will engage directly into the policy process through policy case studies and engaged policy projects to illuminate the practical ways that we work toward policy solutions.
