Hi
Yesterday's lecture was tricky! 8:45 on Monday morning and there I'm talking about location theories, taking the risk of looking straight into a lot of sleepy eyes..but you did well actually. OK there were a sleeping head or two here and there but overall I was surprised with the attention. I guess moving from Christaller's hexagons to Taylor's GaWC world woke most of you up as well. From this point on lectures will be less theoretical and more practical and yes you will steer a lot of things as well. We'll start with sessions in your own research fields as soon as I'm back from New York :)) Meanwhile I hope you will progress with your research plans when I enjoy my congress. You can follow what is going on at AAG from aag.org. Have a look at it and see the variety of sessions and topics we're dealing with (and follow my session too, it'll be on Neoliberal planning, crisis, contestations and alternatives!).
Last but not least the research team ethnic segregation and participation is now online too. They will focus on the participation of immigrants in urban development. Follow them at http://urbaingeography.wordpress.com/
Start spreading the news
I am leaving today
I want to be part of it
New York, New York...
See you 1st of March!

Welcome to the blog of Urban Geography: Urbanization and Cities of the Advanced Economies, which is a 200 level BA course at Utrecht University, Roosevelt Academy. You are also welcome if you are not my student! The course focuses on the diverse urbanization dynamics and periods characterized by significant social and spatial change. Students are expected to conduct comparative case studies and will have team blogs so we can follow their progress online! Hope to see you here! Dr. Tuna Tasan-Kok
