Through field study across various disciplines, the course examines many of the most challenging urban sustainability issues.

Students will travel to Beijing and Changchun, China where they will work, play, eat and travel withCONTACTChinese students and faculty to learn about what China is really like. This is not the standard tourist trip to China; students will see and experience parts of China that no tourist will ever see.
In Beijing, unique connections to important cultural, environmental and urban development sites will be fostered. With a population of over 20 million people, Beijing is the political, cultural and educational seat of the People’s Republic of China. Changchun is an important northeastern city of over 6 million.
