Credit Units : 3

II. COURSE DESCRIPTION

In the Philippines, more people still live today in municipalities than in urban settings. The challenges - like earning money getting transport, dealing with waste
and sanitation, finding housing - with which the rural environment confronts each residence, and by planners, development practitioners, public decision makers
and academics, are often different in nature and scale from those encountered in the rural milieu. This course, designed for students whose first degrees are in a
variety of disciplines but who share a common interest in municipalities, cities, component cities, independent component cities, provinces, in the global world, is
an introduction to some of the key development - related issues to which they give rise.

III. COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. To demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the main trends of urbanization, rural-urban mobility, and population growth that, over the last century, have
transformed many cities of the global world.

2. To critically understand the differences between the urban and rural environments from development perspective, while avoiding false or misleading
categorization.

3. To articulate the practically informed interpretation of the urban fabric and be capable of applying it to concrete contemporary and historical examples of
transforming projects in order to critique and evaluate their content in symbolic and semiotic terms.
4. To identify several contemporary processes of urban development and the forms of the built environment to which they give rise, possess critical awareness of
the inequalities which these produce, conceal, or exacerbate.

5. To possess a subtle, empathetic, and ethnographically informed understanding of several important facets of the lives of the urban poor; be capable, in the
future, of approaching new problems and issues in urban development in a manner that integrates features, terminology and conventions.

6. To review competing models for the provision of urban services and be critically aware of the manner in which they are not merely technical but also political
choices; conceive of and articulate thoughtful arguments both for and against competing models
