Syllabus
Calendar Description: This course examines urban planning practice. It examines the origins and evolution of urban planning taking into account political, social, economic, and cultural circumstances, by examining case studies from the phenomenon of planetary urbanization.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course introduces students to the extensive literature that links social forms and spatial forms to bear on issues of architecture, planning and urbanism in global context with a focus on cities and peri-urban areas in the Global South. Attention will be paid to questions of imperialism, cultural hegemony, globalization and resistances. We will be exploring three dimensions of planning and politics: colonial/neocolonial power, modernist planning and informality in the context of capitalist world-economy and consider them through cases in different cities in the Global South.
Learning Objectives / Outcomes
Students will have a strong foundation for critical thinking about the spatial and political dimension of planning and its relationship with colonialism, postcolonialism and neo-liberalism.
Students will be able to engage in discussion on current approaches to globalizing cities and the challenges of rapid urbanization, inequality, spatial fragmentation and governance.
Students will be able to demonstrate both the potential and the limit of policy / planning / design approaches and explore alternatives.

You are encouraged to connect concepts and ideas from several reading materials. 3). Analysis: Go in depth at a more local level of scale to examine issues of how politics is involved in urban change in one or more areas that you have identified, show illustrative materials, such as a vision, an artwork, a design, a program, a building, a space, a household, a neighborhood, a community, a zone within the city. 4).
