Urban Design and Urban Anthropology: Cities after Globalization

Department(s)

Description

This course examines the dominant ideologies of urban form, culture and socio-political difference associated with each urban scale. Planetary urbanism, informality, techno-utopian views embedded in discourses of ‘smart’/resilient cities and emerging conversations around conflict as inspiration for urban change are dominant frameworks within which globalization and urbanization intersect. We will follow each of these frameworks and their implications for understanding contemporary urbanization.
