| MUI1040– Socially Sustainable Cities: Theory, Policy and Practice: This course explores theories, policies and institutions related to the social sustainability of cities. Socially sustainable cities integrate urban residents and diverse groups in a just and equitable fashion through investments in community services, educational and employment opportunities and income supports. In recent decades, the forces of economic globalization, international migration, and labour market restructuring have intensified urban social and spatial divisions, raising complex public management challenges in sustaining equitable and democratic cities. Drawing on inter-disciplinary literature to build an urban political economy framework, the course begins with consideration of the theoretical linkages between the economic and social dimensions of city life. It then examines a rangeof social sustainability strategies, both national and local, to balance innovation and inclusion. Topics include collaborative governance, community economic development, neighbourhood revitalization, affordable housing and public transit, immigrant settlement, workforce development, and civic engagement and urban social movements. The course concludes with assessment of the organizational challenges and community impacts of different strategies and interventions forsocial sustainability. | 15 | 1 | 1-Sept-2022 to 31-Dec-2022This course is IN PERSONin Fall 2022 | Ph.D. (Geography, planning, political science or related field) preferred or relevant/equivalent industry experience | All normal duties related to the design, teaching and delivery of a University credit course including: Weekly lectures.
