Section Title:
Inter. Environ. Plg & Gov.
Section Info:
International Environmental Planning & Governance Cities and regions have long depended on the natural environment for their health and well-being. In recent decades, however, globalized networks of social and economic activity have extended cities’ environmental impacts well beyond their political boundaries. Simultaneously, the climate emergency has exposed urban infrastructure, housing, human livelihoods and health to environmental changes that originate in distant locations. In many regions, long-standing inequalities in resource access have intensified the vulnerability of low-income people as they struggle to adapt to environmental change. This solutions-oriented course will reveal: historical and contemporary drivers of environmental change; challenges and opportunities for innovation; adaptation and mitigation strategies; and potential social and environmental implications of new planning approaches. Course requirements include a series of short writing assignments. The major assignment will be a comparative group project in which students draw on case studies to design collaborative planning interventions to address an environmental issue in an international city of their choice. Plans may include posters, video, or social media campaigns.
