Urban Government and Politics
In this course, we will examine some of the key challenges faced by contemporary cities. We will do this in part by looking at cities historically, focusing especially on the development of cities during the 20th century. As you will learn, many of the problems faced by contemporary cities have their origins in policies and practices that were initiated many years ago. Only by understanding the historical roots of the contemporary urban crisis can we begin to develop effective solutions. By the end of this course, you will understand why cities experience many of the problems they do and, more importantly, what kinds of urban policies show the greatest promise in addressing these problems.
