In this class we will address how municipal governments and sports are frequently intertwined political forces. City, regional, and national governments have frequently interacted as partners to promote specific policies towards sports. Some of the examples that will be considered include the public funding of private stadiums, the gentrification of communities to facilitate the construction of new stadiums, and also how cities can engage in bidding wars in order to attract the next Olympics, World Cup, or a professional team.

This course will consider how politics and law can assist in shaping housing, cities, homelessness, and suburbia. Significant attention will be given to understanding governmental policies that attempt to influence how people live.
Some examples will consider the early origins of modern cities, the development of suburbia, and historically recent developments such as public housing, gentrification, and gated communities.
