Course description
This course introduces students to core theories and concepts in human geography. The first half of the course focuses on core themes, including political, economic, and cultural elements of geography. Students will learn a range of issues relating to contemporary globalisation. The latter half of the course focuses on urban service analysis in terns of the role that geographers play in analysing crime, housing and health. Finally, a series of urban models is presented which help to describe and explain the basic function of cities and the behaviour of their residents. Hands- on practical exercises supplement classroom learning.
