Prerequisites:
This seminar course will introduce students to ideas about the form of metropolitan regions and how they begin, grow, decline and grow again. We will investigate the ways in which we define "Region" - the natural, political, economic, social, cultural, technological and temporal boundaries that we assign to regions, and the way in which they function and play increasingly important roles in the United States, North America, and throughout the world. The pedagogic approach will be Case Study methodology. We have identified Regional Detroit as our "laboratory", and will include comparative case studies of other national, North American, and international regional efforts in regional planning and development. Students will be required to analyze Case Materials utilizing the following Regional Themes: catalyst, development, choice + consequence, governance, and assessment. The seminar will include readings, discussions, site visits, team and individual written and graphic assignments. | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
