Cities of the Global South

4 credits · Undergraduate

Examines urbanization of cities in the Global South resulting from the intersection of projects articulated globally and locally by agents of development (nation-states, corporations, real estate developers, elite investors, municipalities, world agencies, NGOs) and insurgent practices of urban poor, middle classes, immigrants, youth, street dwellers, under-employed laborers, and “marginals” who build cities and transform, derail, and reconstitute development projects in work and residence.
