SIT Study Abroad Spain: Sustainable Urban Development & Social Justice (Summer)

 

Explore different approaches Spanish cities are taking to pursue sustainable urban development while confronting social justice issues.

 

WHY STUDY SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN SPAIN?

On this six-week, six-credit summer program, you will examine sustainable urban development and social justice in the European Union, where cities and local governments have control over the decisions that affect them. As a result, cities such as Bilbao are developing strategic plans for their future.

 

This program looks at multilevel governance in praxis: how a city actively participates in planning for its development. Explore how Bilbao is integrating territory, environment and sustainability, transportation, well-being, identity and other characteristics to balance the needs of institutions, corporations, NGOs, and, of course, its people. Learn how civil society becomes part of the discussion about how cities function and how housing is—or is not—a right in a post pandemic economic crisis. You will have the opportunity to compare and contrast Bilbao’s experiences with other cities, including Vitoria, Girona, and Barcelona.

 

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.
