Cities Inclusion

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course explores inclusion in cities. It does this in a broad and interdisciplinary manner, exploring various concepts, perspectives, and locations, and with a focus on the non-Western world. More specifically, the course asks students to explore the notion of sustainable development and the commitments around the UN Sustainable Development Goals as they pertain to the urban environment and challenges students to unpack both challenges and opportunities in this regard. The class canvasses issues related to housing, poverty, migration, and gentrification, and investigates the role and relevance of law, the private sector, and social movements.
