PS 310 - Urban and Regional Governance

Credits: 4 credits

This course surveys the surprising variety of options for governing America’s towns, cities and urban regions, examining the strengths and weaknesses of methods such as home rule, regional cooperation, city-county consolidation, and formal urban regional government. Students will survey major urban issues such as poverty, sprawl and transportation/land use planning, crime, education and housing and consider analytical tools for comparing outcomes of different policy solutions. The course will also consider the politics of the regional consolidation process.
