Urban policies are formulated in the political and economic environment of communities, and there is a high degree of interaction between governmental and economic institutions. The purpose of this course is to provide students with an understanding of basic political and economic structures and processes. In the first half of the course, we will focus on economics, emphasizing contending ways of understanding market economies, economic actors, and the role of government. By the end of the first half, it should become evident that economic understandings have profound political and policy implications. In the second half, politics will be our focus, with an emphasis on different understandings of urban politics as well as on the diverse institutions and actors that carry out urban politics. By the end of the second half, it will again become evident that urban politics has economic implications.

This course will provide an intermediate level examination of statistical techniques available to urban researchers. Emphasis will be placed both on understanding the statistics and knowing the appropriate use and potential misuses of each. Each week we will meet for 1 1/2 to 2 hours of lecture, then we will move into the computer lab for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours of statistical work on the computer.

The capstone experience is grounded on four interrelated pedagogical principles: 1) It integrates all the coursework taken before the capstone; 2) it strengthens students’ professional competencies in ethical public decision making and management of organizational resources; and 3) it enhances project management and teamwork skills; and 4) it develops students’ research skills including the use of appropriate methods to collect, analyze, and report data on a real-world organizational issue. SUPA’s capstone program is a practical approach to service-learning and facilitates the linking of theory with practice. This practical approach is a win-win situation for students, the community at large, and the university. Students learn by doing, provide a public service to the community, and the capstone projects are a university contribution to advance community interests. While students’ primary responsibilities are to contribute to the team’s successful completion of their particular project, teams collaborate with one another in establishing a learning community and furthering the goals of SUPA’s capstone program. Thus, teams develop work plans and carry out their projects (intra team responsibilities), but also provide periodic progress reports to the class, and produce a final written report and oral presentation of findings, which enhances class learning of the capstone research and process.
