Starting in Spring 2013, a new parent course for Urban Lab Istanbul (Poli 464/362) has been offered:
POLI 464/362: Comparative Urban Politics and Policy
This course offers a broad overview of urban politics and policies in cities around the world. We will examine how national, regional and local forces shape the processes and outcomes governance within and across cities and metropolitan areas, paying particular attention to critical problems and policies that affect urban centers: growth, immigration, class conflict, public order, service management, education, housing, transportation, environmental protection, sustainability, land-use planning and spatial competition.
The course is designed as a research seminar and will meet once weekly for a 3-hour session. Students must be registered for the Poli 464 course in order to participate in the Buenos Aires lab (Poli 348) course. Please contact Prof. Marschall if you are interested in enrolling (marschal@rice.edu).
