How are cities shaped by people and how do cities shape people? What does public space mean to citizens and power-holders? This intensive seminar-based course provides the student with an insight into theories of public space and examples of how to apply the theories of urban studies to cases from across Asia. Among its themes, the course explores how modernism, colonialism, nationalism, socialism, traditionalism, neoliberalism and other major currents of modern world history have played into the construction, negotiation and contestation of public space in large cities. In seminars, focus is given to cases from Istanbul, Tehran, Tashkent and Mumbai, as well as from other cities. Students are expected to choose a city or particular urban phenomenon for focused, individual study.
