Module Cluster: UG - 001.00 (GSC) Urban Geography.
Currier, Wade R.
This is one of several module clusters developed for the Camden Teacher Corps project. This module cluster is designed to introduce students to urban studies through the application of a geographic approach. Although geography shares with other social sciences many concepts and methods, it has contributed a distinctive set of viewpoints and a unique spatial focus. Understanding these approaches, achieving a competence in several techniques of urban analysis, and gaining some experience in applying the principles learned comprise the general objectives of this cluster. There are eight modules in this cluster: a) Rise of Urbanism and the Nature and Growth of Cities; b) Urban Problems in a Geographic Context; c) External Relations and Internal Structure of Cities; d) Techniques of Urban Analysis; e) Comparative Study of American and Foreign Cities; f) Instituting Change in the Urban Environment; g) New Towns and Future Regional Development; and h) Application of Principles of Urban Geography: Planning an Urban Environment. For each module objectives, prerequisites, preassessment, instructional activities, postassessment, and remediation activities are stated. (JA)
