The Geography of Housing . GEOG 121

Traces the spatial, economic, and social forces that have shaped the production and distribution of housing in the United States, with sustained attention to space, place, and inequality. We move from the New Deal era to the present, examining how federal policy, private markets, and neighborhood dynamics interact to produce the cities and suburbs we inhabit. Topics include residential location theory, housing market failures, the racialized history of federal housing policy, suburbanization and segregation, rental and ownership markets, gentrification, neighborhood effects, zoning and the affordability crisis, and the geographies of homelessness and environmental burden.
