  Course Description

  
  
  

  This course introduces undergraduate planning students to the role of the planner in researching issues in cities both in the United States and abroad. This course is a practical, hands-on workshop that challenges students to research, write and present their ideas on two different cities: A U.S. City (preferably somewhere close) and Copenhagen. Students will be equipped to:

  1. select and research a thesis topic,
  2. work professionally with faculty and other experts on the topic of their choice, and
  3. research, write and present.
