Objectives :

critical urban theory, the right to the city, social responsibility

This course is a reading and writing seminar. It entails a close encounter with cri-tical debates in urban studies, urban sociology, urban geography, urban design, urban planning and urban architecture.

In this course, you basically learn to read and write again. Each week, we read one or two texts. The texts cover a broad range of topics. Special attention goes to clas-sics. Other texts discuss concrete struggles about the right to the city. By reading the texts, you travel from nineteenth century Paris to contemporary Dubai and from New York in the sixties to Brussels nowadays.

After completing the course, students should be able to reflect upon the implications of these theories for their own projects in cities. For this reason, the course also en-compasses the writing of a paper detailing how, why and where people lack, claim and fight for a specific right to a particular city and how architecture firms or urban design centers can engage in such a fight.
