This course is for freshman ONLY. Why does Baltimore have so many vacant and underutilized properties? Is gentrification a good or bad thing? How can the City become more sustainable? These are few of the many issues and challenges that City Planners address. This class will give an overview of urban planning using Baltimore as a laboratory. It will involve walking trips to two or more different neighborhoods as well as readings and guest speakers to explore both challenges and solutions. Students will work individually or small groups to propose policy solutions to real urban challenges.
