This concentration equips students to work for change in developing sustainable local communities. Concentrators will explore social, political, economic, and environmental aspects of communities in the United States and around the world. Topics include the critical analysis of the historical development and current conditions of downtown centers, residential neighborhoods, and suburban areas. Students will investigate the interrelated issues of poverty, housing, education, and crime in phenomena like public housing and gentrification. As they do, they will also consider the activists, organizations, and policy efforts that mobilize around these issues. Collaborations with community organizations will provide the student with a familiarity of urban issues and institutions.
