【Course Objectives】

Humanity is undergoing an unprecedented urbanisation process. Nowadays, global cities have become the main actors of globalisation. They set the pace for international trade and participate in an intense competition for various types of resources. They concentrate lots of issues that are crucial to our future: rising social inequalities and cohesion issues, difficulties in providing security and managing migration flows, adapting to climate change while fighting against poverty, etc. Comparing the main global cities will thus offer an extraordinary insight into how all these problems exist and are managed in different parts of the world.
In a nutshell, the Global city course aims to show students two types of diversity: the diversity of existing situations in the world; and the diversity in the ways urban studies analyse them. Increasing awareness on the rising importance of the urban phenomenon on a global scale, will lead students to become more familiar with the interdisciplinary concepts and perspectives specific to urban studies. On the way, they will practice English in a professional setting, through active learning techniques and a great importance given to in-class discussions.

【Course Contents】

The course will use active learning techniques to offer a thematic and comparative approach to global cities.
Students will participate in an applied game in which they will represent global cities wishing to become the heart of a unified humanity. They will have to study the strengths and weaknesses of their city, and learn about the characteristics of other cities represented by other students. Depending on students' preferences, it will be possible to compare 18 cities from every continent. Overall, the class will imitate an international committee, as it aims at (s)electing the most suitable city to host a world government.
Each session will focus on a topic related to urban studies and some problems that global cities are facing nowadays. The teacher will introduce the issues and concepts of each topic, then students will present their case studies – how global cities differ in managing specific issues – and we will compare and evaluate together the strengths and weaknesses of each city, in order to increase global competence in the process.
