City Immersion

Catalog description

City immersion is an experiential learning course examining the strengths and challenges a city faces. Applying the Co-Cities Protocol and the CUSP Knowledge Tracks (AI, Complex Systems, GIS, Policy Analytics, Smart Infrastructure, Sustainability, Urban Technology Management) students engage with public authorities, civil society organizations, social innovators, businesses, and academic institutions to understand the city beyond what is presented in articles, text books and media. Students will collaborate with communities of the city to co-create informed, inclusive, and innovative strategies in response to identified pressing concerns and present their work to participating partners. | NOTE: Additional costs are associated with registering for this class (covering cost associated with primary grounded research immersion site trip: meals, housing, transportation).
