Course Topic

This year’s Dresden exchange seminar will focus on the broad topic of community redevelopment in a regional context. The idea is to study redevelopment of existing communities within urban regions. Many strategies have been tried and we will examine both the literature on and the practice of these strategies and how well they have worked

We have the unusual opportunity of working electronically with a seminar at the Technical University of Dresden (TUD) during the quarter, continuing our work in the field by visiting Dresden in June and then completing our work by hosting our German colleagues in Columbus in August. The class will be conducted in English or, when German is necessary, with a translator.

The course is international in scope and experimental in nature. Consequently all participants need to be as flexible as possible to take advantage of opportunities or to work around problems as they arise. This syllabus describes my best estimate of our situation. Please feel free to suggest changes or other ways of doing things.
