城市研究

Cities are physical environments—they are social settings, economic phenomena and political arenas. An understanding of these complex social structures can come only from an analysis that transcends the narrow perspective of any single discipline. The minor in urban studies offers students a chance to study the processes and problems of 城市化 from a variety of perspectives. It is designed with enough flexibility to allow a student to choose among many possible combinations, but requires one to experience at least three different disciplinary approaches.
