SCD 320 - The History of Planning and Development

4 Credits

From ancient urban societies through the innovative sustainable communities of today, urban development – how lives were/are ordered spatially – has been an ever-evolving process. With special attention to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this course considers how cities worked, how intellectuals imagined cities could function, and what innovations succeeded and what ideas failed, thus providing greater understanding of how places should be planned in the future.
