| GEO472 - Politics and Planning |
(3 credit hours) |
This course is designed as an overview of the major debates in Urban Politics. It addresses the ways in which local citizens and officials influence the physical shape of the city, government operations, resources available, and opportunities for people to enjoy lives of quality. Urban Politics analyzes the forces that shape the city from top down, bottom up and outside in. It emphasizes on how people engage with urban problems and participate in community and economic development. The course selects different countries in the Middle East (including the UAE) and western countries in order to make a comparison in the nature of political authority as processes and institutions of politics, individual political attitudes and values, political participation, and domestic and foreign policy making.
