UPCD 720 - Community Development for Urban Planners

3 Credit(s)

Description:
This course integrates several bodies of knowledge that made up the bases of community development and urban planning. The course is a critical exploration of the intersection of urban planning and social movements and responses to the post-WWII urban crisis by government(s), particularly the Federal level. It also traces the rise of community development during the 1960’s by weaving three interrelated trends; rise of new social movements; changes to the production of space: globalism; and the advent of the post-industrial/informational society; and responses by government at all levels. All three trends transformed urban planning and urban planning theory and practice. The course also adds skills knowledge for urban planners working closely with or wishing to become part of community development organizations in the US or elsewhere.

Enrollment Requirements:
