Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

This course provides an in-depth examination of these two cities, the most powerful in their respective countries. Each city is examined historically with special consideration given to sociological and economic issues. The basic idea is to see the city as a living organism by using the case study method. By using films, literature, and most importantly, a required five-day field trip to each city, students come to understand the city as a human construction rather than as an abstract concept. Prerequisite: one of the following: BIDS 228, one of the core courses in urban studies, ANTH 247 Urban Anthropology, ECON 213 Urban Economics, HIST 264 Modern European City, or permission of one instructor. (Spates/McGuire, Spring, offered alternate years)
