AMCS 4210 - A Tale of Two Cities: Urban Form and Society in Chicago and St. Louis

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This interdisciplinary course explores the changing forms of urban life in Chicago and St. Louis from the early 19th century through the present. Drawing on methods and sources employed by historians, geographers, planners, and designers, we trace the ways urban spaces were produced, used, adapted, destroyed, replaced, and invested with multiple meanings. We map the dynamic relationship between social life and the built environment, considering thematic links between topics including labor and housing, manufacturing and gender, public space and ethnic identity.
