Description: This course examines how capitalist processes of urbanization have produced urban space and created the conditions that shape the future of cities under climate change, including the possibilities to contest, imagine, and pursue different urban futures. It explores these uneven processes in an interdisciplinary fashion, combining theoretical perspectives on the production of urban space, urban climate governance, social movements, and climate justice using case studies drawn from across geographical contexts, with a strong focus on cities in the Global South. Prerequisite(s) Third or fourth year standing or by permission of the Course Director.
