Beschreibung: The course explores histories and theories of cities and urbanization since the 19th century from an integrated perspective. It introduces key positions and debates in urban theory that allow conceptualizing what cities are and how they function. This is linked with an overview of critical issues and challenges in historical and contemporary urban development. Key phases of modern urban design and planning are reflected in terms of their linkages to wider processes of capitalist urbanization, formations of state power, social struggle and cultural change. We also explore how design and planning interventions in the city have evolved in terms of changing sites and targets, goals and ideologies drawing on interdisciplinary literature from architecture and planning as well as urban social science and urban history. Key questions to be addressed include: - What are cities, and how and why do they change? - What are key issues in historical and contemporary urban development? - How do design and planning influence wider processes of urban transformation? The course is taught in English.
