Urban Sociology- Learning from Israeli Cities

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Urban sociology studies the way that cities shape social life, considering spatial context as fundamental to understanding the social world. This course will explore three essential components of the city: 1) its formation, 2) its geographical and physical structure and composition, and 3) social organization among its residents. We will pivot between an examination of macro-level processes of the shape and character of the city, and the micro-level processes though which the urban context shapes the lives and social interactions of those who reside within it
