Urban analysis

This is a research-based class, building from a group fieldwork on a given Brussels' neighbourhood. Students are divided into groups of about 6, each group being assigned a different neighbourhood to work on.

The goal of this class is to make you familiar with different research methods in the social sciences that are used to analyse the urban environment; its structures and processes. In particular, you will get a taste of the following research methods: secondary statistical data analysis and mapping, urban semiotics, ethnography, (expert) interviewing, and mapping actors. See document on the course UV page for full description.
