Social Entrepreneurship and the Urban Built Environment
This course examines how emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation, and digital infrastructure, are reshaping cities. Students will study the political economy of urban technology, the spatial and environmental implications of data centers and AI systems, and the changing relationships between the public sector, private firms, and communities. The course will also explore how tech-driven disruptions are influencing current and future climate, energy, and infrastructure public policy. Additional attention will be given to how AI adoption may alter patterns of work, leisure, and daily life, and what these shifts mean for real estate, public space, mobility, and local economic development. The class will be taught through case studies, guest lectures, and group projects to assess how future AI-driven behaviors could influence the form and function of the urban environment.
