This

apply the principles of urban geographical analysis to the study of

urbanization

as exemplified in the development of cities in Europe and North America.

Prerequisite: at least 30 units including

either GEOG 241 or 261.

TO: Geography of Urban Built Environments

Current concepts and approaches in urban geography regarding the development of built

environments. Central

concerns are the relationships between urbanization and the state,

capital. and civil society at various scales. Prerequisite: at least 30 units. including one of

RATIONALE:

The new title fits better with the focus of the Faculty of Environment. The new description

updates a longstanding one and better reflects the current course content. The addition of

221 (Economic Geography) as a prerequisites

is

appropriate in that 221 takes a similar

political economy

approach to 362. although the latter focuses specifically on cities. Its

addition should also

ease student progress through the program.
