GLOBAL METROPOLITAN STUDIES

Global Metropolitan Studies is a field of study at Berkeley that addresses major transformations in cities around the world, and seeks to change how we study cities. Urbanization brings a range of new political configurations and challenges — ecological crises, processes of democratization and de-democratization, urban marginality, and emergent strategies of recognition and resistance. Global Metropolitan Studies is a community of scholars across disciplines at Berkeley that investigates the challenges and politics of the new urban century.
