Institution:

North Park University

Subject:

Description:

90% of urbanization taking place today is in the developing world - Latin America, Africa, and Asia. How can Western classical theories of urbanization developed in the 19th and 20th Centuries inform contemporary experiences of migration, individualism, social control, social movements and redevelopment in non-Western countries in the 21st Century? Lectures, reading and case studies from local authors provide ample opportunity for cross-cultural comparisons.
