The 21st century is known as the Century of the City, with more than 70% of the world?s population expected to be urban by mid-century. This trend towards global urban living is unprecedented in human history and presents profound challenges to meet sustainability goals. This seminar will consider the implications of meeting human needs in cities from an urban planning and design perspective. The seminar will involve weekly readings, in-class discussions, brief instructor presentations, and optional papers for a letter grade.
