GEG236

This course explores the setting in which more than half of the world's people live-the city. Throughout history, urban areas have been the centers of economic, political, and cultural life. Further, many of the world's critical issues-social polarization, economic restructuring, environmental degradation, traffic congestion, and poverty-are concentrated in urban areas. In short, cities are complex and vibrant phenomena shaped by conflicting economic and cultural processes. This course examines the forces that give rise to cities and shape their internal spatial patterns. Prerequisite: GEG-101 recommended. HBSI, Fall semester.
