Programs- Summer 2008

Vancouver, a city at the forefront of urban, social, and environmental planning, and consistently ranked in the top 3 cities in the world, is the exciting destination for this two-part summer program focusing on urban revitalization and development.  Beginning in Milwaukee, students will explore the evolution of our urban environmental crisis and the emergence of a sustainable city approach.  The group then travels to Vancouver, where field visits are interspersed with lectures.    Field-based tours and lectures will take place at a number of public, private, and nonprofit institutions where students will learn about the range of policy, program and management initiatives being developed and implemented in Vancouver.
