Hi,
I'm starting to think about the fall :^( and redesigning my course on
urban and regional theory. It's an introductory course for graduate
students in community planning who have no economics or social science
prerequisites. The course is called "Spatial and Fiscal Relationships
of Communities" and I generally teach it as a course in urban theory,
covering such "classic" things as Christaller's central place theory,
the Chicago School's concentric zone theory, etc. and more recent and
radical stuff like flex-spec, and the like. Generally, I've used
Dicken and Lloyd's _Location in Space_ combined with Mike Davis' _City
of Quartz_ the past few years. I'm a bit dissatisfied with the course
covering too much and covering things in too little depth. Does anyone
out there teach a similar course and/or have suggestions?
