Om kursen

The course is structured around three interactive themes that together form a whole:

1. The development of different urban forms, urban conditions and contemporary challenges in a global perspective.
2. Everyday life and the field of tension in the local urban context between, on the one hand, social and cultural practices and, on the other, the material world of built landscapes, buildings and infrastructures.
3. Economic, social, cultural, political and environmental driving forces expressed in urban development, exemplified by important societal issues.

The course consists of several interactive elements:

- Introductory presentations, in the form of lectures and seminars
- Seminars where students' own experiences form the basis of introductory presentations of the literature and subsequent questions and critical discussion.
- Seminars where students present their own and criticise each other's essays.
