URBNST 0404 - REMAKING EUROPEAN CITIES WITH CULTURE AND CREATIVITY: POLICIES AND PRACTICES


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course provides students with an active, place-based perspective on how culture and creativity are used in Lille to overcome urban decline. The City of Lille, France was named Europe's Capital of Culture in 2004, and uses a mix of culture based urban regeneration policies to remake itself into a vibrant urban hub at the crossroads of northern Europe. Students will learn the policy context for Lille's creative regeneration practices, observe the impact of these policies through site visits and interviews, and evaluate whether Lille's policy mix can be translated and transferred to other urban contexts. Key skill-building includes evaluation analysis, field research, and comparative policy analysis.
