Cities are on the frontlines for many of the world's most important policy challenges and have long wrestled with a wide range of pressing social, economic, and environmental problems. This course focuses on policy challenges in St. Louis and will use an interdisciplinary lens to understand the policy problems and processes found in the region. The course features speakers working on local policy issues and students will engage local data and methods using the St. Louis Data Dashboard and St. Louis Survey developed by the St. Louis Policy Initiative.
