CPEB 203 - Green Gentrification and the Right to the City (4 Cr.) (GCR ES)(GCR Social and Behavioral Sciences area)
Cities and government officials are leading the way in responding to the global ecological crisis, especially in dealing with the effects of climate change, by “going green.” This course focuses on the way that “going green” shapes social life, specifically through green gentrification. Green gentrification involves the urban renewal process whereby urban greening initiatives drive gentrification, and vice versa. Students will critically assess green gentrification in terms of how it promotes urban sustainability in a broad sense, which involves understanding its contributions and limitations to economic, environmental, and sociocultural sustainability. Students will also identify and describe the different political discourses and community debates surrounding green gentrification in different cities. By the end of the semester, students will be equipped with the critical thinking skills necessary to help inform urban sustainability planning. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester.
