Designing Inclusive Cities. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Cities have always been places of spatial inequalities, from Susa, one of the oldest world cities in modern Iran, to the Greek city-state of Athens, the so-called birthplace of democracy. More recently, the 2020 Pandemic has shed light on the uneven distribution of urban goods and bads. In this course, we will explore how urban designs and policies, and socio-environmental injustices are closely interconnected. We will co-learn about the main drivers and indicators of urban inequality and segregation relying on examples of cities from Tokyo to Tehran and from San Antonio to Seoul. Course Fee: GL01 $90.
