Description: We study Urban Development and the lives of urbanites. We pay particular attention to the way in which cities generate inequality, wealth, and poverty, and how these are experienced by urbanites. we do so not only through readings and discussion, but by weekly time spent in assigned neighborhoods. We explore issues of justice and human capabilities.
