Course Description:
This course focuses on the role of planners and the cities, towns, and regions they serve in addressing climate change, examining how core principles of environmental justice influence-or fail to influence-their practices. Students will explore social movements and community-led activism advocating for more equitable responses to the climate emergency. The course also delves into the relationship between disaster and environmental planning, current methods of adaptation, mitigation, and resilience planning, the politics of managed retreat, as well as alternative frameworks and perspectives from abroad, particularly from the Global South. |
