Students will have the opportunity to travel to a destination city for a week-long examination of specific social, economic, physical, and/or environmental issues. The trip will include meetings with municipal representatives and other decision-makers (public and possibly private). The findings of the trip supplemented by bibliographic research and in-class discussion will form the basis of a major research essay. Each student is required to pay the cost of transportation and accommodation.
