Class Description:: This course examines the impact of contemporary immigration in the U.S. on urban planning and public affairs. Specifically, it engages several important questions: How have immigrants changed cities in the U.S.? What kind of social, political and economic experiences do immigrants have once they arrive in the U.S.? How can urban planners and public policy makers fashion plans and policies that expand the opportunities and improve outcomes and improve outcomes for immigrants? To help answer these questions, we focus on the following areas: immigration theory, the residential settlement patterns of immigrants, labor market outcomes, community formation, and examples of effective (and ineffective) practices for working with immigrants in planning and public policy contexts.
