Comparative Urban Political Economy
Semester: Spring 2022
Course Number: SOCIOL 1169
Instructors: Benjamin Bradlow
For the first time, most people across the globe live in cities. Inequalities within both nations and cities are increasingly similar across national boundaries. We ask how the politics of formal and informal institutions in cities produce and change inequalities of shelter, work, race, and other social identities, across urban space. We analyze cases from across the globe, along with a range of social science methods and theoretical perspectives.
