Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Society Sector. All classes. Reed. This course explores the political character of contemporary urban American life. Particular attention is given to the relationship between urban politics and policy-making -- including the structural and ideological factors (e.g., dynamics of political economy, race, ethnicity, pluralism, and gender) that constrain the policy context and shape the urban environment as a terrain for commingling, competition and conflict over uses of space. It makes considerable use of case studies to throw into relief the complex and sometimes subtle processes that shape urban life.
