| Urban Geography is a field-based course in which we spend Fridays together as a class either in the field or working on projects. For the final project, students conducted research on an aspect of local urban geography that was of interest to them and created a web page. The hyperlinks below will take you on a virtual tour of the area and highlight different issues. |
