Description

Both in the United States and internationally, urban areas face increasingly difficult challenges of urban management and leadership.  This course will examine urban leadership and whether it can make a difference for those who live in cities.  Students will focus on the approaches of particular mayors and other city leaders as well the role of leadership in the context of urban problems such as education and crime control.  Readings and class discussions will culminate in students independent projects which will focus on leadership and policy choices in solving a real or hypothetical city problem.
