We will be engaging a multiplicity of cities in our readings and discussion, e.g., Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Capetown, Mumbai, St. Louis, Detroit, Berlin, Manchester, and New York. Our concern is with the swath of current economic, political, cultural, and social forces that are constituted in and reverberate across the city in current global and neoliberal times. Topical issues addressed include the city as a globalizing entity, rights to the city, the racialized urban economy, the new local state in the city, contemporary urban governance, nature in the city, and the new gentrification. Readings for the course reflect a mix of classic pieces, theoretical-conceptual expositions, and contemporary empirical applications of ideas and theories.
