The specialized honours program in
Geography & Urban Studies, affiliated
with the Urban Studies program, invites
students to combine an interdisciplinary
exploration of urban life, its qualities and
its discontents with the study of social
geography — the discipline that has most
closely examined the nature of city lives
and city places. You may orient your
studies in a number of ways: toward the
modern city, toward urban development
in a global context, toward the history
and comparative study of cities or toward
planning and environmental issues.
Why choose this program?
Our program stresses firsthand
fieldwork of the social and spatial
fabrics of cities.
Learn from a group of dynamic
professors who care about individual
student success.
