The remarkable growth of world cites has been accompanied by astonishing socio-cultural, demographic and global communication changes. Yet our predominantly urban world has developed in a peculiar geographic context where there has been substantial growth in the number of individual nation-states since 1950 along with an increasing expansion of regional economic and socially-defined “collectives.” This course will explore the many patterns, processes and systems that manifest themselves in the evolution of the “Global Village”.
