Course Content
The course of Urban Sociology promotes a critical approach to urban planning, architecture and design.
The course has both a theoretical and a methodological approach. Students are first introduced to a set of concepts of sociology and other social sciences and to a theoretical framework on the relationship between people, space and the city. Then the course presents a wide range of research tools to study what people do to and with architecture.
