The world’s population is growing, it is moving and intermixing, and it is increasingly
found in cities. This course explores these changes and the challenges that come with
them. It investigates the forces that are shaping the world’s communities, the patterns of
interaction between them, the quality of life within them, and their impact on the world
around them. Students will apply the concepts of geographic thinking, the geographic
inquiry process, and spatial skills and technologies as they investigate issues related to
population change and urban life and propose ways of enhancing the sustainability of
communities around the world.
