First, we will study the causes and consequences of poverty and inequality. We then turn to an analysis of the demographic forces fertility, mortality, migration that are propelling urbanization in poor countries and are also shaped by urbanization. Lastly, we will focus on slums and homelessness, which are two common phenomena during urbanization, and investigate related issues, such as irregular land tenure; upgrading and redevelopment schemes; and the capacity of municipal governance and planning. 課程目標與學習成效 Course Objectives & Learning Outcomes Students will learn how to read and present academic papers. Students will also learn to write a referee report and an empirical final paper with data analysis, which have the potential to develop into a master thesis or very good writing samples for future graduate school application in social sciences. 每週課程進度與作業要求 Course Schedule & Requirements 請詳述 : 課程內容與指定閱讀 / 教學活動與課前 課後作業 / 學生學習投入時間 ( 含課堂教學時數 ) 1
