Abstract

The course "Life Course Approach and the Cities" aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the life course approach, emphasizing the dynamic interaction between human life stages and urban environments. This course introduces students to the foundational concepts and theories of the life course perspective, stressing its importance within the context of urban studies and planning. By providing a detailed historical overview and tracing the development of this approach, students will grasp its significance and relevance in contemporary urban analysis.Throughout the course, students will study how various life stages, such as childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, influence and shape individuals' experiences and interactions with urban spaces. The curriculum will delve into the ways city environments affect citizens' perceptions of their life stages, offering insights into how generational shifts and social changes impact urban infrastructure requirements. This multi-faceted exploration will empower students to critically analyze current urban plans and strategies, evaluating their alignment with the diverse needs of different age groups.As a key component of the coursework, students will engage in practical projects aimed at enhancing the urban environment for specific age groups, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. By the end of the course, students will not only possess a solid understanding of the life course approach but also demonstrate the ability to develop and propose urban planning initiatives that accommodate and support the well-being of all citizens across their life spans. This course is essential for those pursuing careers in urban planning, sociology, social work, and public health, offering valuable skills and insights for creating more inclusive and sustainable cities.
