Portland is “The City that Works,” but what does that actually mean?  How does it work?  Who does the work?  For whom do they work?  Students in this course will explore the answers in the context of urban planning, sustainability, leadership and civic engagement. This class emphasizes the examination of critical urban issues via experiential and service learning, supported by focused engagement with key texts.  It is a hands-on, seminar-style course designed for students to work together to engage the community and help address our region’s urban issues through the completion of a plan for a client.
