Socially Sustainable Public Places. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Socially Sustainable Public Spaces adopts an interdisciplinary lens to explore the creation of socially sustainable urban public spaces around the globe. We will begin by questioning if the concern for the social sustainability of cities is a new emerging topic. We will experience public spaces firsthand – potential sites include San Antonio, San Marcos, and Austin. Relying on our own experiences and the theoretical framework learned in this class, we will explore, examine, and evaluate the fundamental elements that bring public places to life and equip people to fuel lasting change.
