FR 0017 - PARIS: URBANISM PAST AND PRESENT

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description This course embarks on a study of Paris as an ever-evolving urban center in time and space. A two-pronged approach sees the City of Light as both a geopolitic entity with a history of great importance and an idea that has influenced politics, society and the arts all over the world. The syllabus features both the diachronic evolution of Paris from Gallo-Roman times to the present day as well as the synchronic weight of Paris as place and notion both in and out of France.
