Cities are where the majority of world population lives and where various actions are increasingly undertaken to address different issues related to economic development, infrastructure management, social justice, and environmental sustainability. This course will focus on issues facing urban environments around the world and is designed to introduce students to the underlying institutional, historical, socio-economic, and environmental dynamics that influence urban policy making. The aim is to familiarize students with how urban plans and policies are developed and implemented and what will be the local and global consequences of urban policy making. This course will provide the students with knowledge and skills required to understand and analyze urban issues and will enable them to play a key role in future urban policy making processes through offering innovative and systematic solutions.
Course goals and objectives:
By the end of the term the students are expected to:
• Be able to provide an overview of the urban policy field and its sub-fields (i.e., energy planning, environmental planning, housing, land use planning, etc.)
• Be familiar with urbanization trends and future urbanization scenarios
• Understand the role and importance of urban policy making for addressing global challenges
• Be capable of critically analyzing urban policies and enhance their debating skills
This will be a discussion-based course and students are expected to actively participate in class activities and discussions. |
