Urban Planning - Eqty, Justice, & Amer Cities

Catalog description

In U.S. cities, many groups are marginalized by inequitable conditions and access to services such as quality housing, transportation, employment opportunities, education, and health care. Social inequalities of race, class, and gender shape and are shaped by social conflicts and processes of uneven urban development and resource distribution. This class is intended to be a place where students think critically about urban social relations and gain a better understanding of social justice, inequality, access, and privilege as they relate to urban space. Strategies in which to address inequality via urban planning and policy development efforts are explored and evaluated.
