ERS 27 - American Urban Planning

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

The geography of modern life - our homes, roads, commercial centers, parks, and beaches - is an outgrowth of planning. Students examine key planners of the past 125 years to understand how we got here, traffic jams and all. Students explore how contemporary planners balance the complex interconnections among taxes, housing, environmental quality, transportation, economic development, and cultural diversity. Challenging questions about whether planners can move beyond today's fixation on economics and security and create cities that are more joyful, healthy, and socially just are considered. Same as GGR 27.
