SOC 142 - (BH) Global Cities: Politics and Social Change in Comparative PerspectiveSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course compares the impact of global economic change on the
world’s most powerful cities in the last fifteen years. The first half
of the course focuses on how economic change has affected the social
and political lives of the residents of New York and London. The second
half looks at the way other cities (e.g., Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Hong
Kong, Singapore, and Los Angeles) handle the challenges of
globalization and assesses what lessons their fate holds for New York
and London. Course is designed to introduce students to the problems
and opportunities created by the growth of a world economy and its
consequences for the people, politics, and social structures of large
cities.
