component are especially encouraged.

3. RISD COURSES:
From the RISD site, it *appears* that the following courses will be offered
at RISD in the Spring. I say *appears* because (our) Banner¹s system of
listing every course ever offered and forcing you to pick out the ones that
will *actually* run, has made me a little shy about assuming that courses
listed are really Œlive.¹
- There¹s no guarantee that Brown students will be allowed in these courses;
you will need to speak to the instructor. Especially the Urban Systems
Studio, which is part of the graduate course roster in Landscape
Architecture and also appears to be double-credit. However, it *is* certain
you will never get in if you don¹t ask.
- Please keep in mind that registration for RISD courses will not happen
until next semester (Monday, Feb 22).
- Students who will or have transferred in credit from other institutions
should talk to a dean about the limits of transfer credits.
- Please remember that a maximum of 2 RISD courses may be used (if approved)
toward the Urban Studies concentration and will be applied to the
Complementary Curriculum portion of requirements.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

SEM: CITIES, URBANIZATION, NATURE
Damian White
Spring HPSS S640
Cities and urbanization generate significant environmental impacts. However,
recent work in the social sciences has sought to recognize that cities
contain their own diverse ecologies, they provide homes for a range of
non-humans, they are dense sites which potentially possess ecological
advantages and they are arenas where the cultural and political creativity
of urban dwellers can stimulate a range of creative responses to the
challenge of sustainability. The aim of this course is to sociologically
examine the past, present and future relations between cities, urbanization
and nature. In the first part of this course we contrast classical
narratives emphasizing the antagonism between ³cities² and ³nature² with
more recent readings of urban environmental history by Bookchin, Cronin,
Harvey, Gandy, Swyngedowu and Latour which have sought to provide more
dynamic understandings of the metabolism between urbanism and nature, humans
and non humans. In the second part of the course we examine the central
empirical claims and normative contours of the quite diverse green critiques
of contemporary, postmodern urbanism and sprawl. Finally, we examine how an
equally diverse range of reconstructive discourses on urbanism and nature,
from techno-centric plans to re-engineer cities in the form of new urbanism,
to discussions of ?urban environmental justice?, and from discussions of
urban radical democracy to utopian plans to facilitate new urban social
ecologies are vying to shape the future of cities, urbanization and nature.
Open to Sophomore and Above [2009-2010]

URBAN SYSTEMS STUDIO
This final core studio stresses large-scale design and planning issues,
complex sites, and urban conditions. The city is a living organism that
evolves in a particular locale with a particular form due to a combination
of environmental and cultural factors. These factors, the forces they
represent and the material results of their interaction form, in their
interrelated state, what can be called ³urban systems.² The many forces at
play within cities social, cultural, economic, ideological, ecological,
infrastructural, morphological and visual combine in various ways to
create both an identifiable urban realm and the many subzones within this.
Yet, none of these factors is static and unchanging; and, as a result, urban
systems, urban dynamics, and urban identity are likewise in a continuous
state of flux. This studio will explore these systems and the complex issues
at play in our urban areas and the potential for positive change.
Required for majors; Pre-registration by Department; Estimated cost of
materials $210.00
Credits:6.0
Semester:Spring
