DESCRIPTION
Global flows and trends increasingly influence urban areas, which must tackle global challenges such as climate change, social inequality, migration, and technological disruptions. These challenges have direct local impacts on the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of urban environments. This course takes a comprehensive approach to global cities, examining them through the lenses of conceptual frameworks, global governance, planetary well-being, and the New Urban Agenda. The course concludes with a case study of Barcelona as a global city.
