The Geography of Cities and Regions

GEOS2123

This unit of study reviews the approaches used by Geographers to examine urban and regional areas. Lectures considers how Geographers understand the concepts of 'space', 'place', 'territory' and 'region'. These concepts are then deployed to practical questions about urban and rural development, using examples from both Australia and overseas. Lecture-based delivery of these issues is complemented by field-trips (students have the option of day-trips or longer, overnight trips) and the use of GIS to analyse and map relevant socio-economic data from the Population Census and other sources.
