Over 80% of the U.S. population and half of the global population live in urban or suburban areas. While urbanization has driven opportunities for development, creativity, and innovation, cities worldwide face significant challenges. From economics and criminology to arts, culture, climate change, tourism, transportation, social sciences, environmental studies, design, and planning-virtually every field is shaped by the urban context. This course focuses on the issues and crises confronting urban residents, with a particular emphasis on cities and suburbs in the United States.[HSS]
