Description:

In this Master’s specialisation you will study how different actors influence the physical form of cities but also the way in which they present and understand the character and identity of cities, and how they make use of the typical urban environment in their daily activities.

Urban and Cultural Geography: Something for you?

  • The focal point in this specialisation is the city: its hybrid nature, its political economy, its active civil society and the daily struggles and advantages of urban life.
  • Our approach is highly multidisciplinary to include related fields as spatial planning and anthropology.
  • We define culture as the behaviours and beliefs of people in society. Culture in the sense of the arts and architecture are included when seen of as a form of expression by the community.

What will you learn?

In this specialisation you will study urban life and urban development, as well as the thrill of the 'urban experience'. We will focus on how the city is represented and how city images and experiences emerge and are contested. We will also study the hybrid nature and daily struggles in urban life and the political economy of the city. You will become familiar with processes of identification with and social construction of urban culture and urban space. Finally, you will elaborate on the role of cultural industries, creative classes, and cultural diversity for city development. The focus is on key urban problems with an international scope.
