Course Description:
Within the next few decades, nearly 2 billion people will be added to the world's cities, with almost a third of this population growth due to migration, particularly in the global South. This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of urban migration, covering domestic (US) and international themes and cases. Through writing and class discussion, students will explore the history of urban migration, its diversity, causes, challenges, as well as cultural, political, economic, and spatial implications for urban planning and social organization in cities and regions. |
