How can we create just cities?
In an urbanizing world, contemporary cities are characterized by the production and reproduction of social and environmental inequalities. While cities are uneven landscapes, they are also laboratories for social and environmental justice. But how do urban inequalities work? What makes a more just city? These paired courses investigate these questions from social, global, and environmental perspectives. We will discuss how city-building and suburbanization are mediated through natural resources and infrastructural systems that shape structures of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and age. Students will cultivate their own interdisciplinary frameworks of social and environmental justice as a step toward becoming informed global citizens.
