Cities have been the spaces where social changes have been most apparent throughout the history. This class focuses on the "urbanization" that began in the late 18th century and continued through the 20th century. By tracing the process of formation and development of the city from various aspects such as politics, economics, society and culture, we will be able to understand how the city was formed and consider the challenges facing the space of the city.
The class will be conducted in a lecture style, but students will analyze maps and historical materials, and will be asked to submit their opinions and impressions. It is desirable to be active in the class.
