SIT Study Abroad/IHP Cities in the 21st Century: People, Planning, & Politics

NOTE: SIT will make every effort to maintain its programs as described. To respond to emergent situations, like COVID-19, SIT may have to modify programs.

Explore major cities within the global economy and witness how citizens live, work, and organize to advance social justice in urban environments.

KEY TOPICS OF STUDY

  • Sociological contexts, constraints and opportunities of urban life
  • Understanding and defining what is a “just city”
  • Determining who “owns” the city
  • How political action by individuals, community organizations, social movements, and local governments shape city life
  • How urban citizens create a sense of place, community, and identity
  • What must be done to move toward ecologically sustainable cities
