Urbanization is a fascinating global phenomenon with many far-reaching impacts. The Minor in Urban Studies at Carleton University will help you to develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand and diagnose urban conflicts and governance challenges at the local and global scale.
You will learn about socially just and low carbon alternatives designed to improve the quality of life in cities of the global north and south, including initiatives such as supporting local food production, creating affordable housing and inclusive communities, restoring urban ecologies and public spaces, and promoting walkable cities and vibrant neighbourhoods.
The Minor in Urban Studies serves as a springboard for students interested in urban planning, community activism, working in urban policy in the public or non-profit sectors, or pursuing a graduate degree.
