The Urban Affairs Program introduces the student to the process of urbanization by analyzing the history, ecology and structure of cities, even as it explores their social, economic, cultural, political and public policy environments. Contemporary urban problems such as inadequate housing, education, health care, crime and the criminal justice system are addressed, as are challenges like ethnic, racial, class and religious diversity. Also discussed are patterns of suburbanization, as well as planning for the future of cities.
