Since ancient times, cities have been significant engines of social change. As more and more people flock to metropolitan areas in search of opportunity, how do we assess the changes that urbanization brings?
As a student in the urban studies (URBS) concentration, you’ll learn about broad patterns and notable variations in urban growth, decline, and, in some cases, revitalization; the factors that have shaped cities; and how cities have, in turn, affected the lives of their inhabitants. You’ll also become familiar with the key concepts and tools used to explore and analyze urban phenomena.
While you can combine this concentration with any major, it’s an especially good complement to majors in community, youth, and education studies; economics; geography; global environmental studies; international development and social change; political science; and sociology.
