Urban Geography

Catalog description

Urban geography explores the changing spatial dimension of cities: Where people live, how they move around, and what that means for neighborhoods. How have jobs changed over time (the types of jobs and their locations) and what does that mean for the region’s economy? What do all of these changes mean for the present and future of cities? Students will consider these dynamics, the challenges they pose, and possible solutions while developing their data and digital literacy skills in finding, organizing, and transforming raw data into insights about their urban surroundings.
