Summer – Urban Studies & Culture

Berlin at dusk

About the Program

As a city that has been built and rebuilt over the past century, Berlin remains a city of contrasts—and of innovation. Today, the city is a hot spot for the arts, sciences, and alternative life scripts providing the creative fuel for a lively cultural scene: theater, music, film, and art. At the same time, Berlin has always been a lab for innovative urban planning, sustainable architecture, and environmentally friendly mobility. \ Course-related trips are integrated to provide a firsthand look at Berlin’s architectural innovations, sustainable design, and rebuilt infrastructure, as well as its cultural and political movements. As part of your coursework, you might tour Berlin's memorials and monuments to explore the politics of memory in the urban landscape, or trace the local sites of a Berlinbased movie you have analyzed in your Film class.
