The first part of the course will ask students to imagine both what kind of city they want to inhabit and whom they imagine should shape that city. To inform this process, we will compare the \u201cCorporate City\u201d associated with Robert Moses\u2019s post-WWII vision, the \u201cUrban Village\u201d associated with Jane Jacobs\u2019s 1960s vision, and the contemporary \u201cNeoliberal City.\u201d The second part of the course will focus on case studies of specific New York City neighborhoods. Through these case studies, we will explore contemporary gentrification processes. During the last part of the course, students will present on their plans for the future of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For help with projects, OpenLab, or the common event, you are encouraged to schedule a virtual meeting with the <a href=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/alonso26\/tlc\/tlc-support-scheduler\/\">Teaching &amp; Learning Collaboratory (TLC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/alonso26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/127\/2024\/01\/divider.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-base-2-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-130997746e465b08baf2b1a443a9fbf1 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#427579;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);flex-basis:14.5%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-83eec0f34fa86d69617091ebe2296726\">Quick Info<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Meetings:<br>Tuesdays, 3:40\u20136:10pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-base-2-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/brooklyn-cuny-edu.zoom.us\/j\/81809243252?pwd=YQLAjk6P9EREVblH7RBKN9mVaJxHi9.1\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:0px;background-color:#87b3b3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ZOOM LINK<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-base-2-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/alonso26\/tlc\/tlc-support-scheduler\/\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:0px;background-color:#87b3b3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TLC SUPPORT<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the course site for Macaulay Honors College Seminar 4, &#8220;Planning the Future of New York,&#8221; with Prof. Gaston Alonso.
