Undergraduate students with an interest in city and regional planning, geography, politics, social sciences, and economics
The aim of this course is to understand and learn about the different challenges that urban neighbourhoods are facing, e.g. integration and migration, social exclusion, demographic change, creative milieus, economic decline, shrinkage, and ecological renewal.
How is the ageing society affecting our neighbourhoods? How are migrants integrated in the neighbourhood context? Does Berlin have a creative class, and, if so, how does it affect the city?
These are only some of the questions that will be discussed in the course. The city of Berlin is a hot spot for various developments. As a result, several of these aspects will be explored and explained during short excursions in Berlin. Students of all relevant disciplines who are interested in different aspects of urban and neighbourhood transition (including, e.g. city and regional planning, geography, politics, social sciences, and economics) are most welcome to join this course.
Participants will be invited to draft a presentation on a specific topic discussed in the course (including, e.g. the home regions of the participants).
