Reading and discussion course on selected topics in urban and planning history, with an emphasis on the United States, 1820-2000. We will sample both canonical and more recent scholarship. Interested doctoral students from across the university are particularly welcome. Masters students interested in an intensive reading course are also welcome. All students will read at least one book per week, and the final written assignment can be tailored to individual student interests and needs.
