Class Description:
Using sociology, along with history and urban studies, this course will follow the rise of "cities". We will study the great scholars of urbanism, including Wirth, Simmel, Wilson, Sassen, and Klinenberg to apply their models to topics such as the rise of modernism, the city as a milieu of design and consumption, ecological sustainability, and the urban-suburban divide.
