Description: This course focuses on the emergence of the modern city from the late 18th century until the present day. Students will be exposed to various historical perspectives on city life as one of the cornerstones of modernity. How have historians, sociologists, and planners engaged the Industrial era? How did new flows of commodities and migrants transform the lived experience of port cities and beyond? Where lies the border between the changing city and its hinterland? What did "modernity" mean for the performance of gender in public space? These are only some of the issues this course intends to examine. We will utilize a diverse set of sources to look at political, ecological, and social processes that continuously shape the urban space around us.
