- Class Description:
- Explore the expanding and unique role of the city in today's world and our increasing reliance on cities and metropolitan areas to solve big policy problems. As residents' trust in federal and state government is at an all time low, the "municipalist" movement is taking hold in cities around the world. Cities have had an increased role in visibly addressing wicked problems and implementing policy to improve local economies, the environment, worker protections, transit, and other areas that have lacked investment from state and federal government for years if not decades. At the same time, the environment for city policy-making is rapidly changing, with the influence of social movements and protest, higher levels of engagement with city government, and use of a race equity lens to redefine the priorities of public entities.
