GEOG 32 The Physical City
Cities are not only home to most of humanity, but also unique and varied physical environments. This course will introduce students to these environments and the challenges of making them both livable and sustainable. It will cover three subject areas: 1) the biophysical features of cities, 2) environmental problems associated with urbanization, and 3) approaches to addressing these problems. In order to appreciate the geographic diversity of cities, the course will examine a wide range of urban environments across the world.
