MS A Ls
This course explores the relationship between urban development,
transportation, and the environment. Through a comparative
analysis of Chicago and Detroit, students gain perspective on the
changing role of various transportation systems, the effects of land
use regulation on the shape of U.S. cities, and the implications
these interactions have on how people live and travel through dis-
cussion, analysis, and first-hand observations.
The class is taught in one week. Students spend the first half of the week
(Mon., Tues. and Wed. morning) in Chicago and the latter half of the week
in Detroit, Michigan. The class will travel as a group on Amtrak to Detroit on
Wednesday aftemoon and participate in field visits on Thursday and Friday
to explore contemporary problems and opportunities.
