URBNST 1502 - FIELD ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL URBANISM


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course presents University of Pittsburgh students with the opportunity to travel to Singapore and Malaysia for a two-week Urban Studies field course, guided by Pitt faculty. This 3-credit IFTA (integrated Field Trip Abroad) is a base three-credit course that facilitates comparative analysis of urban processes in two strategic Southeast Asian cities. This course is available to all Pitt undergraduates, and does not include any prerequisite courses. The course consists of lectures and site visits to places of significant urban interest in both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Students will complete readings and discussions about urban processes in both cities, and will develop a blog and independent reports about these places. The content for this three-credit course will be contained within the two-week field course, and will focus on Asian urbanization, consumption, and sustainable city development.
