SOC-234 Urban Sociology: A Visual & Global Approach
A comparative study of the growing urbanization in the United States and the world. We will start by looking at why and how cities are growing and how this interacts with larger social forces like globalization. This will lead into investigating how urbanization impacts social issues such as housing supply, crime, and education. The explorations will include examining how governments manage urban planning to see how it works and fails in real life including the study of towns and cities in our area.
