Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2301 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: The fight for spatial justice in contemporary cities is a demand for recognition, representation, and a more equitable redistribution of scarce public resources. In practice, however, both the formal institutions and informal power relations of urban governance are often supra-local. This writing-intensive class employs a comparative case-study approach to study the role of metropolitan areas, larger urban regions, and even expansive regional belts in the growth, governance, and experience of everyday life in cities. We will study the Delaware Valley (Philadelphia) and compare the discursive and material roles of regional planning, governance, and activism there with cases in East Asia and Latin America. Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC), Inquiry into the Past (IP); Haverford: B: Analysis of the Social World (B), Social Science (SO) Enrollment Cap: 15; If the course exceeds the enrollment cap the following criteria will be used for the lottery: Majors and minors by class (seniors then juniors) then Seniors, then Juniors, then Sophomores. |
