ECO 237 - Political Economy of Urban Development

Description
The course critically examines the most pressing urban issues from a pluralist economy perspective on a global scale. It analyzes processes of urban development not only in terms of the ‘built environment’ but also in relation to structural changes in the global economy. The course draws from Neoclassical, Marxian and Institutional economic theories to comprehend, evaluate, and deconstruct the intricacies of contemporary processes of urban development. The course materials will aid students in developing both theoretical and policy-oriented understandings of contemporary urban development.
