Final Project  & Rough Draft

Final Project Themes, Research and Formatting

Themes

For your final project you will choose a theme that we have discussed throughout the semester.

  1. Global Cities & Urbanization
  2. Urban Infrastructure Technology & Sustainability
  3. Colonialism & Neoliberalism
  4. Gentrification
  5. Creating Culture in Urban Spaces
  6. Food Sustainability & Urban Cuisine

For your research you will find a minimum of 3 sources outside of the course material AND 1 source included in the course material for a totoal of 4 sources to highlight your engagement and focus with the thematic material.

 For example, you can discuss the importance of Street Food vendors and community, however outside of a general overview of why people enjoy the food, you might want to focus on a particular city, area within that city and food vendor using articles or videos that you have researched.

 Using these sources you will then analyze the theme within the context of your research to discuss the different aspects of the theme. Continuing with the ‘Urban Cuisine’ example, you might discuss how Street Food vendors add to the Urban Metabolism model, or you might provide qualitative interviews with vendors, customers and community members alike. 

You can feel free to use photos and videos, however please remember that your explanation and analyzation of the theme is what will be reviewed. Remember this is a Global Urbanisms class and should highlight an international  city or comparison.

Research

While 4 sources are mandatory, you do not have to only submit 4 sources. You can use Academic Journals, Online Periodicals, Websites.

Your sources should provide with either quantitative information: data, statistics etc. or qualitative information: interviews, experiences and descriptions that relate to the theme
