CTYP 200 - Hartford:Past and Present

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Over the course of almost 400 years, just about every important description in American urban life has left its mark for good and ill on Hartford. The city is, therefore, an excellent point of entry into the study of American cities. The course offers an examination of Hartford's development as a major financial and manufacturing center in the 19th and 20th centuries and its subsequent transformation into a troubled post-industrial city at the heart of a privileged metropolitan area. Particular attention will be paid to changes over time in the city's economy, its ethnic, racial, religious, and class composition, its political and civic life, and its culture. The course will also explore the causes of the social and economic problems now confronting Hartford and recent efforts at reform and redevelopment. Only students in The Cities Program are allowed to enroll in this course. 1.00 units, Lecture
