Department(s)

Description

Sustaining Peace by Design engages students with the latest scholarly literature on the relationship between urbanization, violence and conflict. This course also introduces students to work by international institutions, such as the World Bank and the United Nations, that have attempted to design programs to prevent and stem urban violence. Students will critically engage with this academic and policy literature and think through how as geographers, architects and urban planners we can utilize our skills to address and understand urban violence and conflict. Specifically, students will through a detailed case study of their choosing show how urban perspectives are critical to the global agenda of sustaining peace.
