| Course Objectives: | The course is historical and theoretical. It is concerned with the economic, social, and political factors that shape urban processes and environments and the efforts of individual actors, interventions, conceptual models, and practices to comprehend, gain control over, regulate, and reshape those processes and environments. The time span is from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 21st century. The focus is on Middle East, Europe and North America, and the dialogic relationship between urban planning and urban design and the technological, institutional, political, and cultural contexts in which they operate. |

The students who have succeeded in this course; Students who are taking this course will learn about strategy, agency, and actors; on formal aspiration, authored intervention, and the production, instrumentation, and transfer of a form of knowledge and set of practices that are urban and architectural. This knowledge also includes ways in which the city has been perceived, imagined, represented and projected into the future; the aspirations built and unbuilt of a range of urban actors, and the multiplicity of logics that underlie the forms themselves. |
