Advanced Seminar: Urban Nature and City Design
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This course will explore the mutual influences of ideas of nature, theories of city design and planning, and practices of urban design, construction, and management. We will investigate how natural processes shape urban landscapes (from the scale of street corner to region) and how to intervene strategically in those processes in order to achieve certain goals. We will examine cases of cities that adapted successfully to natural processes and those that did not. Students will then have the opportunity to research a case of their choice and to present their findings for discussion. The subject may be historical or an an example of contemporary theory and practice.

Natural disasters require communities to work together. Students will: come up with a definition of community and discuss the different the communities they are a part of; talk about a time they have helped someone in their community and why; watch a video clip of a group of young boys helping their community in Japan in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami; discuss what it feels like to help people and how it feels to receive help; discuss a time the students worked together to achieve a goal; come up with ideas of how to help people who are affected by natural disasters.

“COMMUNITY BUILDING”  WITH OWN YOUR HISTORY® - A Handbook for Leaders and Participants

The United States today is more divided than at any time since the 1860s. The deep divisions in our country are fundamentally about our history. Community building thus must start with our history. Own Your History® (OYH) seeks to initiate grass roots change by  helping diverse groups reach across divides to find commonality and understanding, despite continuing differences.We are inheritors of an America shaped by prior generations. “All of us benefit from inheritances we did not choose and cannot change. Growing up involves deciding which part of the inheritance you want to claim as your own, . . ." Susan Neiman, Einstein Forum We are not responsible for what forebears did, constructive or destructive. But we each  are responsible for what we do, including perpetuation of selected parts of our national past. We can become a better country by using OYH to develop acceptance of differences and all forms of diversity, which can create a foundation  for stronger communities across this country.
