Content

Modern urban governments face challenges due to rapid changes in social, economic and environmental conditions. This course focuses on ideas, models and trends in the governance of urban areas, and students are provided with a set of analytical tools to study contemporary changes and transformations in governance practices and arrangements. These changes include, for example, new types of citizens participation, new types of delivery, emphasis on urban entrepreneurship, aims for sustainable development and smart city initiatives.

The course provides a cross- disciplinary perspective, including political science and sociology. In addition, we follow a comparative approach to urban governance, where urban areas both within and across national contexts are compared. The course will focus explicitly on national and international experiences from three policy areas where the governance challenges are particularly prominent: public spaces, housing, and infrastructure. The main focus are the processes and mechanisms that shape an urban area, as well as strategies and instruments in the governance of these areas.

The course will be taught in English if attended by international students. The course will be taught in Norwegian if attended by only Norwegian speaking students.
