Cultural commentators love to hate suburbia but the suburban parts of metropolitan areas are expanding around the globe. Readings, films, and lectures cover topics including suburban history, design planning, ecology, social organization, politics, and culture. Students will use photography, mapping, discussions, and brief papers to develop their own views of suburbia.
