Course Summary

Cities are now a critical focus for research, policy-making and public debate. While, according to the United Nations, three-quarters of the global population will live in cities by 2050, the nature of this urbanisation is varied and particular. This MSc offers innovative, comparative and interdisciplinary modes of analysis and research that acknowledges and addresses the scale and complexity of contemporary urbanism.Students gain an advanced understanding of urban theory, develop a range of critical analytical lenses to explore urban challenges shaping the world, contemporary as well as historical. The programme focuses on an interface between theory and practice across a diverse set of topics, from critical urban debates to creative engagements with the urban. It also questions our normative categorisation of cities such as the global South, post-socialist cities and other regional rationalisations to rethink a global understanding of concerns from capitalist development to socio-ecological change.
