Choosing a study city
Students enrolled in CRP 5130: Introduction to Planning Practice and History and/or CRP 5190: Urban Theory will select a study city in China, South Africa, or the United States. The city must be outside your country of origin. You will research and write about this city in multiple writing assignments for both classes through the semester.
In addition to this research guide, students are encouraged to reach out to peers from their study city or country for additional perspectives and resources.
