Description

This module provides an introduction to the different ways urban space is perceived, represented and experienced across a variety of contexts from architecture and geography to developments in literature, cinema and the visual arts. The module鈥檚 multi-disciplinary scope and imaginative emphasis is used to encourage and develop reflection on the potential problems and critical possibilities for interdisciplinary learning and engagement in Urban Studies.
