Structure and Function of Cities and Regions/ Urban Form & City Planning/Structure and

Function of Urban Settlements (new preparation). This course introduces students to urban

spatial structure and function, its evolution over time, and forces that influence change. It

covers theories of urban expansion, history of urbanization and suburbanization in the

United States, and local and global forces that shape urban structure.

Plan/Policy Implementation (new course developed). This course introduces students to

techniques for implementing plans. It covers the legal aspects of plan implementation

on practical and theoretical issues of hazard mitigation and disaster recovery. It covers

disaster recovery at household, business establishment, and community levels. It also covers

various approaches to hazard mitigation, including community protection works, building

practices, land use planning, and insurance. Students work with communities recently struck

by natural disasters to understand the complexities and challenges of disaster recovery, and
