CY PLAN
200 (3) Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. The history of city planning and the city planning profession in the context of urban history. Principal focus on the evolution of North American planning practice and theory since the late 19th century; some comparative and earlier material. Extended Course Description This graduate level course provides a survey of key historical moments in the emergence of modern city planning. While the focus of the course is on U.S. cities, it also pays attention to transnational and global connections that exert influence on the theory and practice of planning in the American context. The course has three objectives. First, it seeks to train students in the study of city planning through an historical survey. Such historical knowledge provides crucial insights into the profession and makes visible the complex and compelling struggles that have shaped the field of planning. For this reason, the course follows a chronological order but also interrupts this chronology in order to highlight transhistorical appropriations, continuities, and congruences. Second, this course seeks to enable students to have a deeper understanding of how space functions. The history of city planning is rooted in the quest for spatial order in particular cities. Indeed, the course foregrounds the various spatial formations that planners must professionally inhabit and transform: from the “inner city” to the “city-in-the-region.” Third, this course seeks to introduce students to key paradigms of planning thought. The course is organized on the principle that a history of city planning is simultaneously a theory of city planning and that both such history and theory are anchored by ethical frameworks. In this sense, the course is one concerned with the history, theory, and ethics of planning. Each week, as we take up an important historical conjuncture, so we will discuss the planning ideas and ethical implications at stake in our analysis. The course is restricted to graduate students with priority given to MCP and PhD students in City and Regional Planning. Course requirements include class attendance and readings, an in-class examination, an analytical papers, and short response essays. Doctoral students will be expected to write a doctoral level paper addressing issues in both planning history and theory. CY PLAN 203 (3) Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. This course provides an introduction to the metropolis with a focus on its institutions, governance, and planning. It provides a metropolitan perspective on issues that cut across the concentrations, including housing, transportation, and equity, and it emphasizes strategies for governance of metropolitan regions in the U.S. and Europe. Extended Course Description This course provides an introduction to the metropolis with a focus on its institutions, governance, and planning. Metropolitan planning and management has become a major challenge around the world as metropolitan regions grow larger and more complex. Global and local forces intersect in these regions, which typically contain dozens, if not hundreds, of jurisdictions and dozens of vertically integrated sectoral agencies which work independently with limited agendas and narrow often conflicting mandates. Although a metropolis is an integrated economy and it may be a major force in a state or region, few players attend to the welfare of region as a whole. While many recognize the reality of the interdependence of jurisdictions and of issue arenas such as housing, air quality, and transportation, the political and institutional incentives largely militate against cooperation, even though jurisdictions and agencies increasingly cannot accomplish their goals working alone. Today however the challenges of planning and managing the metropolis have captured the attention of practitioners and scholars alike. We are in a period of reflection and innovation. A proliferation of new planning and governance forms are emerging, including collaborations and partnerships, voluntary efforts led by civic entrepreneurs, as well as the construction of social and political networks linking public and private players. The purpose of this course is to provide students with a practical and intellectual foundation for professional work or scholarship in metro regions. It will look at such regions as economies. It will look at the causes and effects of the proliferation of jurisdictions on the potential for metropolitan governance. It will offer a brief history of regionalism movements in the U.S. As we address these larger themes we will also discuss specific issues and practices on such topics as social equity, transportation, housing and land use. We will have guest lecturers who are practitioners from leading Bay Area agencies. Finally we will explore emerging strategies for improving metropolitan planning and governance, particularly the use of collaboration and networks. The course will be run as a combination lecture and seminar, with ample opportunities for participation and discussion. CY PLAN
204A (2,4) Three hours of lecture and one and one-half hours laboratory per week. Introduction to the use of quantitative reasoning and statistical techniques to solve planning and policy problems. Course focuses on (I) basic planning techniques for analyzing and presenting secondary data, preparing forecasts, and conducting regional economic analysis (weeks 1-8); (II) inferential statistics and sampling, as applied to planning problems; and (III) basic multivariate techniques such as chi-squared and linear regression and advanced multivariate techniques such as multiple regression (weeks 9-15). For the two-unit option, students may take the first half of the class (weeks 1-8). Extended Course Description CP 204A introduces quantitative methods for describing, analyzing, and modeling data in city and regional planning. It covers a variety of methods, from exploratory data analysis to population modeling to multiple regression analysis. We keep statistical formulas and proofs to a minimum. Instead, we emphasize building a conceptual framework and gaining practical skills for conducting data analysis in city planning. We also teach the use of a computer as a tool for data presentations and analyses. CP 204A is organized into two parts. Part I (weeks 1-7) deals with Analysis of Secondary Data (mainly from the census), in particular tract-, city-, and metropolitan-level data on population and employment. Focusing on applied planning methods, it presents a variety of techniques for analyzing and presenting secondary data, preparing population and economic forecasts, and conducting regional economic analysis. CY PLAN
205 (3) Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. An introduction to the American legal process and legal framework within which public policy and planning problems are addressed. The course stresses legal methodology, the basics of legal research, and the common-law decisional method. Statutory analysis, administrative law, and constitutional interpretation are also covered. Case topics focus on the law of planning, property rights, land use regulation, and access to housing. Extended Course Description This course teaches several practical skills essential future planning professionals. Those completing the course will:
CY PLAN
C213 (3) Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. Prerequisites: 113A or equivalent. Examination of the interactions between transportation and land use systems; historical perspectives on transportation; characteristics of travel and demand estimation; evaluation of system performance; location theory; models of transportation and urban structure; empirical evidence of transportation-land use impacts; case study examinations. Also listed as Civil and Environmental Engineering C290U. Extended Course Description The United States continues to grow and urbanize, and people are traveling more than ever. Building roads and highways has become more difficult and less popular, and the funding for new roads and transit systems has become more constrained. Many state and local governments have therefore been pursuing policies such as transit-oriented development, smart growth programs, urban growth boundaries, and zoning code reform. These regulatory interventions don’t require public funds, and they are thought to decrease auto use and increase walking and transit use. But property rights advocates, along with a large share of the general public, often express opposition to smart growth and related policies. Does a less sprawling city lead to more transit use? What exactly is it about high-density environments that gets people out of their cars? Will people walk to work a block away if they can easily drive? As it turns out, these are not simple questions. So we spend much of the time of the course learning what is well understood and what is controversial. We also introduce students to some of the land use and transportation planning methods used in practice. CY PLAN
214 (3) Three hours of lecture/seminar per week. Survey of basic knowledge and technology of physical infrastructure systems: transportation, water supply, wastewater, storm water, solid waste management, community energy facilities, and urban public facilities. Environmental and energy impacts of infrastructure development; centralized vs. decentralized systems; case studies. Extended Course Description This course is aimed at City Planning, Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Civil Engineering, ESPM and Public Policy graduate students with interests in infrastructure, transportation, land use, housing and project development, environmental planning, and urban design. The course provides a broad survey of urban infrastructure systems and the planning, regulation and financing of such systems. The course is oriented to U.S. and international aspects of infrastructure planning and policy. The course is divided into three parts: Part I: Context and Policy Framework CY PLAN 227 (3) Three hours of seminar per week. Formerly C227. Intermediate to advanced course focusing on theory and empirical evidence for regional growth and development, using reading and discussion. Extended Course Description Often economic development interventions focus on attracting in the selected area large firms from the outside. By contrast, in this course we’ll take as our starting point the workshops, small firms, activities and labor skills that are already present – even if in an embryonic form – in the area and can be starting points for local development. This choice reflects the importance that studies of post-Fordism, flexible production systems, and industrial districts have given to these agglomerations. Differently from large, integrated, firms of Fordism, where most of production process is carried out internally to one firm, industrial districts are full of relations and activities external to individual firms, but internal to the district. In the course we will concentrate on these spaces and how they function in successful industrial districts. Students will be encouraged to research specific case studies based either on an already existing industrial district (e.g., the garment district in NY, urban agriculture in Berkeley, the Biotechnology Cluster in Cambridge), or on an underdeveloped area where they see the potential for the development of a new district. Urban planning, design, and architecture come into the picture both as policy and as spatial interventions supplementing and reinforcing the “seeds,” processes, and places of interaction already identified in the selected area. CY PLAN
C234 (3) Three hours of seminar per week. Prerequisites: Public Policy 210A-210B or equivalent. This course considers the economics of urban housing and land markets from the viewpoints of investors, developers, public and private managers, and consumers. It considers the interactions between private action and public regulation--including land use policy, taxation, and government subsidy programs. We will also analyze the links between primary and secondary mortgage markets, securitization, and liquidity. Finally, the links between local housing and related markets--such as transportation and public finance--will be explored. Also listed as Public Policy C275. Extended Course Description To come. CY PLAN
238 (4) Two hours of lecture/seminar and four hours of studio per week. Prerequisites: CY PLAN 235. Studio experience in analysis, policy advising, and project design or general plan preparation for urban communities undergoing development, with a focus on site development and project planning. Extended Course Description This course is the capstone studio for students in the Housing and Community Development Concentration. It is designed to help students synthesize a wide array of project and neighborhood development skills, including project conceptualization, market and feasibility analysis, design, financing and approvals. The course requires that teams integrate the diverse pressures on economic and project development in meeting the needs of the client. The studio experience will be augmented by guest lectures by practitioners in the design, planning and finance fields. Prerequisites: CP235, or permission of instructors. Architecture and Landscape Architecture graduate students are also welcome. CY PLAN
C240 (3) Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. Formerly 240. Theories and patterns of urban form throughout history are studied with emphasis on the role of planning and design in shaping cities and the relationship between urban form and social, economic, and geographic factors. Using a case study approach, cities are evaluated in terms of various theories and performance dimensions. Also listed as Landscape Architecture C250. Extended Course Description What is a good city? How does it come to be? How have conceptions of good city form changed over time? Theories and patterns of urban form throughout history are studied comparatively with emphasis on the relations between urban form and social, economic, technological, and geographic factors. The role of planning and design in shaping urban form is addressed. Cities are evaluated in terms of various theories and performance dimensions. Students have the option of doing a term paper, a morphological analysis of a city or urban place, or a final examination for their major work in the course. CY PLAN
C241 (4) Three hours of lecture/seminar and two hours of laboratory per week. Formerly Interdepartmental Studies 241. The components, structure, and meaning of the urban environment. Environmental problems, attitudes, and criteria. Environmental survey, analysis, and interview techniques. Methods of addressing environmental quality. Environmental simulation. Also listed as Landscape Architecture C241. Extended Course Description The course is about research methods that designers and planning professionals use to analyze and evaluate urban places, be they buildings, urban districts, transportation routes, or landscapes. We are interested in gaining primary knowledge about places; we test professional assumptions about density and form in relation to housing types that are livable; we test how far people walk and why; we are curious about the integration of natural processes in cities, to name a few recent topics. The selection of topics is driven by student interests. The methods used in the evaluations are the focus of the course and they include direct observation, field measurements, surveys and/or interviews. The urban environment will be viewed primarily as a social and psychological environment with the purpose to gain knowledge about a good fit between urban form and people’s values and expectations. Naturally, we are concerned about environments that function well in terms of use, balanced transportation modes, sound urban ecology, good sense of place, equity, but also a sense of beauty that citizens expect from the environments they live and work in, or travel through. We are concerned with who environments are for, who uses them, and the conflicts that can arise between user groups. Environmental design and planning is inevitably a form of micro-politics. Evaluation will be seen as a basis for citizen involvement and environmental improvements rather than ends in themselves. The principal topics to be covered will be:
CY PLAN
C243 (5) Three hours of lecture and six hours of studio per week. Prerequisites: C240/Landscape Architecture C250; previous design studios. This interdisciplinary studio focuses on the public realm of cities and explores opportunities for creating more humane and delightful public places. Problems will be at multiple scales in both existing urban centers and in areas of new growth. Skills in analyzing, designing, and communicating urban design problems will be developed. Studio work will be supplemented with lectures, discussions, and field trips. Visiting professionals will present case studies and will serve on reviews. Also listed as Landscape Architecture C203. Alternative Futures for an Unbuilt Highway Corridor This interdisciplinary studio focuses on the public realm of cities and opportunities for creating more humane and delightful public places in both existing urban centers and in areas of new growth. The studio will explore possibilities for the so-called Santa Rosa "Greenway," an unused strip of land that cuts through the city from the eastern edge to the center. Dating from the 1950s, it is a right-of-way for an unbuilt and most likely never-to-be-built highway that was planned by CalTrans to connect Hwy. 12 with US Hwy. 101. The corridor is about 300’ wide and nearly 2 miles long. An open grassland, it is crossed by 3 streams and 3 streets and contains a 60-year-old walnut orchard. Its edges are defined by residential neighborhoods and some commercial uses, and several schools are in close proximity. An eager and informed group of residents, the Southeast Greenway Campaign Committee, has organized to do something about it and has asked the studio for assistance in analyzing the problem and envisioning possible futures. It is an opportunity to explore lots of ideas from infill housing, bike and pedestrian trails, urban gardens, educational and cultural spaces, stream restoration, eco-transit and a lot more. Potentially, it could become a component in both the city and regional greenway system. The class work will provide a framework for a public design charrette in Santa Rosa in 2011. Some urban design issues to be considered include:
CY PLAN
C251 (3) Three hours of lecture per week. Formerly 251. This course will examine emerging trends in environmental planning and policy and the basic regulatory framework for environmental planning encountered in the U.S. We will also relate the institutional and policy framework of California and the United States to other nations and emerging international institutions. The emphasis of the course will be on regulating "residuals" as they affect three media: air, water, and land. Also listed as Landscape Architecture C231. Extended Course Description This course will introduce students in the concepts, methods and practice of environmental policy and regulation. The course will focus on urban environments, and students will grapple with political questions of urban environmental governance, such as the appropriate sources of science and environmental knowledge, the scale at which to protect urban ecosystems, the role of social movements, and the place of environmental policy making in the broader spectrum of American and global environment and development politics. This course is designed for students with an interest in professional careers in environmental planning and management, regulation and activism. We focus on how environmental policies and regulations are designed, implemented, and evaluated using case studies of environmental policies and regulatory decisions. Case studies include such environmental issues as urban air and water quality, toxic chemicals, food access, sanitation and solid waste management, energy efficiency, and the connections between land use decisions and environmental health. Some specific concepts and tools of policy and regulation that the course will review include risk analysis, environmental impact assessment, the precautionary principle, environmental justice and life-cycle analysis. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the course, students will:
CY PLAN 255 (3) Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. This course introduces students to the relatively new and rapidly expanding field of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The course focuses on GIS and its application to both city and regional problems in the San Francisco Bay Area and offers students a toolkit for integrating spatial information into planning solutions. The laboratory sessions will mainly employ a vector model to solving problems. Topics include problem identification, data discovery, database design, construction, modeling, and analytical measurement. Extended Course Description Overview Spatial analysis and modeling have a long history of development and use in city and regional planning, and there is a dramatic increase in interest in the application of such tools in settings ranging from metropolitan transportation planning, to municipal comprehensive planning, to site analysis, to community or regional scale visioning. In California, the recent passage of SB375 stipulates the use of integrated land use and transportation models to address aggressive targets for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. The course is structured to provide students with both an overview of the use of models and spatial analysis in city and regional planning (with more of an emphasis on the regional scale due to the interdependencies within a region). We will examine the uses of such models, different modeling frameworks, some of their strengths and weaknesses, and the use of messy spatial data to develop and apply such models. CY PLAN
256 (3) Three hours of lecture per week. Exploration of common origins of urban planning and public health, from why and how the fields separated and strategies to reconnect them, to addressing urban health inequities in the 21st century. Inquiry to influences of urban population health, analysis of determinants, and roles that city planning and public health agencies - at local and international level - have in research, and action aimed at improving urban health. Measures, analysis, and design of policy strategies are explored. Extended Course Description City life is the norm for an ever growing proportion of the world’s population. As urban populations increase, strains are placed on basic infrastructure, housing, ecologic resources, social relationships, the local and regional economy and governance practices. The urban environment influences many aspects of health and well-being: what people eat, the air they breathe and the water they drink, where (or if) they work, the housing that shelters them, where they go for health care, the danger they encounter on the street, who is available for emotional and financial support, how political power is distributed and public resources allocated. Cities can be both the source of serious threats to the health of the public and the source of many public health innovations. In fact, urbanization itself is beginning to be understood as a structural determinant of health, much like globalization. More than ever, an improved awareness of how characteristics of cities affect health and well-being is necessary in order to address key determinants of morbidity and mortality and to improve population health more generally. While the fields of modern city planning and public health emerged together in the 19th century to address urban inequities and infectious diseases, they were largely disconnected for much of the 20th century. In the 21st century, planning and public health are reconnecting to address the new health challenges of urbanization and globalization – from racial and ethnic disparities to land use sprawl to providing basic services to the millions of urban poor around the world living in informal slum settlements. How to reconnect the fields of planning and public health to address these and other 21st century urban health challenges is the focus of this course. Students will explore the multiple forces that influence urban population health, how to analyze these determinants, and what roles city planning and public health agencies, as well as other political institutions such as local governments, civil society, the private sector and international organizations, can play in research and action aimed at improving urban health. CY PLAN
C257 (3) Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisites: C251/City and Regional Planning C231. Credit option: Students will receive no credit for C257 after taking Landscape Architecture 237. A review of the techniques used in environmental planning, and evaluation of alternate means of implementation in varying environmental and political circumstances. The class will examine and critique a number of well-known environmental planning programs and plans. Lectures and discussion will address recurrent planning problems, such as the limitations of available data, legal and political constraints on plans, conflicts among specialists. Also listed as Landscape Architecture C237. Extended Course Description To come. CY PLAN
260 (3) Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. Formerly CY PLAN 268. This course will explore the theory, history, methods, and practice of local community development. The course will begin by examining the historical roots of community involvement and action. It will present alternative explanations for different paths of neighborhood and community change. Extended Course Description Community development, understood most broadly as the effort to improve the quality of life in low-income communities, has existed in different forms for centuries. However, it is only in the last few decades that the fields of urban politics, urban sociology, urban economics, and city planning (among others) have developed a sophisticated understanding of how communities work, and community development practices are still evolving today. In fact, though many think of the 1960s and 1970s as the peak of the community development movement, the emergence of new approaches to community development, the increasing effectiveness of community-level interventions, and the growth of interdisciplinary interest in the field together suggest that the field has finally come of age. This course explores the history, theory, and practice of community development. We begin with a brief overview of the antecedents of today’s community development, from the public health movement to early sociological theories to 20th century interventions by the public sector. For the next three weeks, our inquiry turns to theories of community development, from neoclassical and Marxist economics, sociology, political science, and planning. The remainder of the course examines community development practice: its evolution and current forms. We turn first to the shift in housing policy, from concentration to dispersal. Related to this policy shift is the emergence of community development corporations and the transformation of the nonprofit sector as the state retrenches from urban policy. Globalization and immigration patterns have also transformed communities: capital flight and access to capital are reshaping communities, and global labor flows make transnational communities the norm rather than the exception in the U.S. The final seven weeks of the course provide a survey of current community development practice, including redevelopment, comprehensive community building initiatives, community economic development, asset-building, equitable development in the face of gentrification, community benefits, faith-based organizations, and new initiatives in crime, health, and education. A variety of guest lecturers will join us to speak about cutting-edge practices and obstacles in implementation. We conclude with a look at communities in the metropolitan region and the quest for community economic justice in the global era. CY PLAN

282 (3) Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. Origins and evolution of the idea of planning. Values, choice, and purposive behavior; knowledge and social action; rationales for governmental intervention in self-regulating social systems. Alternative planning strategies for conditions of uncertainty in the absence of science-based knowledge. Extended Course Description This is a graduate seminar that focuses on the development of planning thought from the late nineteenth century to current times. The object of exploration is the process of planning itself and not the objects that planning treats. CY PLAN
290 (1–3) Three hours of lecture and discussion per week per module. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. Course may be repeated for credit. Analysis of selected topics in city and metropolitan planning with emphasis on implications for planning practice and urban policy formation. In some semesters, optional five-week, 1-unit modules may be offered, taking advantage of guest visitors. CY PLAN 290A PR/CR Thesis Workshop This workshop is designed for Masters students in the Department of City and Regional Planning who are working on their professional paper or thesis. It is a required core course for all MCP students who are graduating Dec 2010 or May 2011, or concurrent students who will leave the program this year. Waivers will be granted if the student has completed the PR/CR in the summer and the advisor or committee chair is ready to sign off. There will be three tracks: one for students who are just starting to select a topic, those who have a topic and will be graduating in May 2011; and the third track will be for those who are writing and intend to graduate or complete the PR by December 210. The first meeting, Wed Sept 1, will be for all second year MCP students. We will review the deadlines and form groups for the three sections. Thereafter, the groups will meet on alternating Wednesdays. Although there will be periodic lectures throughout the semester, the workshop is designed to be informal to meet the diversity of topics and approaches that characterize DCRP final papers and projects! There will be in-class writing and brainstorming exercises. Advising appointments are available for more individual attention. CY PLAN 290B The U.S.-Mexico Borderlands: Plan for Diversity or Division Extended description to come. CY PLAN 290C Survey Research for Planners This short course will meet on August 30 for the introduction and then runs from September 27 to December 1. The course is designed to acquaint students with the theory and practice of survey research as a primary means of data collection. It covers all of the steps in conceptualizing, designing, conducting, and analyzing a survey, through lectures, readings, discussions, exercises, and individual student projects covering the basics of the major stages of survey research. Topics covered in the course include: developing a research question and hypotheses; designing a study; conceptualizing, operationalizing, and measuring variables; sampling; survey instrumentation and pretesting; survey approaches (including internet, mail, and telephone, as well as focus groups); survey ethics; survey participation, incentives, and nonresponse; evaluating survey questions; coding and data processing; and basic statistics for survey data analysis. Throughout the semester, the class will discuss examples of surveys for a variety of different groups: households, entire communities, parks and community facility users, workers, firms, commuters, and so forth. We will pay particular attention to the difficulties of conducting small-sample research. CY PLAN 290E Histories and Theories of Urban Intervention Extended description to come. CY PLAN 290F Sustainable Redevelopment: Rebuilding Our Cities in the Clean Energy Economy The transition to a clean energy economy provides an opportunity to address the threat of climate change while creating new middle-class career pathways for communities that have suffered the most during the Great Recession. However, promises of “green jobs” as a panacea for our economic and environmental ills rarely acknowledge the legal, policy design, political and implementation challenges associated with effectuating structural change. This course will expose students to the practical realities of attempting to rebuild our cities through a focus on achieving “triple-bottom line” returns on public and private investment in the green or clean energy economy. This course will examine the legal and political underpinnings of (and challenges to) the many roles that government can play in re-shaping our economy to be more equitable and environmentally sustainable. It will examine traditional tools of land use planning, redevelopment and other economic development strategies while exploring innovations such as wage standards, targeted hiring policies, and community benefit, community workforce and high-road agreements. We will discuss potential green jobs strategies in the areas of energy efficiency retrofits, renewable power production, transportation policy, urban manufacturing, water supply and quality and food security. We will also touch on the land use, real estate and urban design implications associated with some of these strategies and explore the increasingly important role that federal policy is playing during an era of distressed state and local finances. Course readings, guest lecturers and case studies will expose students to cutting-edge economic development practice being implemented in a diverse cross-section of cities across the country. In addition to reading and commenting on course materials, students will be required to evaluate a proposed or existing green jobs strategy in a city or region and present their findings to the class as a final project.
