This class investigates urban politics
\nin the United States-\u2013 especially by looking at political economy, which is the
\nstudy of how politics (who gets what, when and how, quoting Harold Laswell)
\naffect the economy (colloquially, how scarce resources\u2013 especially get
\nallocated, or capital $$ accumulated), and how the economy in turn shapes
\npolitics. It gives an overview of key trends and forces in the development of
\ncities in the US, institutional relations of cities and suburbs with other
\njurisdictions of government, and major tensions and challenges facing cities,
\nsuch as those regarding public education, affordable housing and
\ngentrification, and community safety. Along the way, we consider how contested
\ntheories and policies like \u201cracial hygiene,\u201d redlining, high modernism, and
\nbroken windows shape the built environments around us, and it examines key
\ndimensions and tensions in contemporary city governance. We will cover both
\nhistorical and theoretical perspectives of politics in urban areas. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout, we pay particular attention
\nto issues of segregation and (in)equity in cities\u2013 What helps to explain how
\nand why cities and metropolitan areas look the way they do? Who is this city
\nbuilt for? Who benefits from this arrangement? And how might we work towards
\nmore just cities?<\/span><\/p>\n
