Course General Description

The two-year, English-language Master’s program in Urban Studies critically engages with manifold aspects to the contemporary urban question, integrating insights from urban studies, urbanism and urban planning, architectural history, urban sociology and ethnography and critical geography. The urban concerns ‘the city’ but cannot be limited to it: more than ever before the urban question has become the paramount social and political question. Emphasising the urban dialectics of social process and physical form, the program familiarises students with historical dynamics and conflicts shaping our world today.
