Beschreibung: The course explores histories and theories of cities and urbanization from an integrated perspective. It aims to convey an understanding of the historically specific ways in which cities and societies develop interdependently. Students are introduced to key positions and debates in urban theory which allow conceptualizing what cities are, how they function and how they change. This is combined with an overview of key topics of urban development and relevant approaches in urban design and planning in different historical phases and cultural contexts. The course draws on interdisciplinary body of literature from architecture and planning as well as the wider field of urban studies and urban history. Key questions to be addressed include: - What are cities, and how and why do they change? - How are economic, social, and cultural processes linked to material changes of built structures in the city? - What are the key issues, figures and projects that have shaped urban development? The course is taught in English.
