| Syllabus: | This unit examines cities around the world from within a sustainability framework. Its core focus is the issue of automobile dependence in cities and the associated land use, environmental, social, economic and urban design issues surrounding it. The unit covers a transport history of cities, the transport energy issue, private, public and non-motorised transport, issues of suburban sprawl and transit-oriented development, central cities, environmental technologies and the greening of cities and other issues. The unit is taught within a very broad international comparative research framework, with many examples of the best and worst in cities. Students are required to complete a project developing a vision of sustainability for a particular city or part of a city. |
