AL 14109 - Introduction to the City

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Arts and Letters (Non-dept.)

Description:

A variety of approaches to urban geography are explored with the aim of providing a firm foundation for future more-specialized study. The first part of the course is concerned with an understanding of characteristic urban forms during a variety of time periods. This leads into a consideration of the urban geography of Dublin as it developed through time and the degree to which it fits the models explored earlier. The second part of the course concentrates on the contemporary city. We explain the patterns of landuse, concentrating on residential landuses, and the processes that control them. This leads into a final consideration of some contemporary urban problems.
