HIS 301 - Introduction to Urban Comm Units

Institution:

Antioch University-System Administration

Subject:

Description:

This course traces the history of modern cities and the modern urban experience through a rich variety of materials. Cities included in the course fall broadly into three categories: the ancient cities of Jericho and Ur; the industrial cities of the nineteenth century-Manchester and Chicago; and the current world cities of New York, London, and Tokyo. Los Angeles is featured primarily in the later half of the course as an example of a global city. The themes of the course focus primarily on the physical situation of the cities: living conditions, urban planning, architecture, and sanitation, although it will also consider such issues as the political and economic basis of urban life. It will also investigate the overall importance of cities and their relationship with the surrounding countryside. SOCIAL SCIENCE DOMAIN
