HIST 32 The Life, Death and Rebirth of Great American Cities
This course examines key moments in the histories of four diverse American cities: New York, New Orleans, Las Vegas and Los Angeles: two old and two new cities, two cities that grew organically over centuries, with deep resources and deep problems, and two glitzy cities that grew too rapidly, booming and crashing over the half century after World War II. Students will research, write and present urban history projects on a city of their choosing.
