Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad Spain: Sustainable Urban Development & Social Justice (Summer)

 

Explore different approaches Spanish cities are taking to pursue sustainable urban development while confronting social justice issues.
 

WHY STUDY ABROAD IN SPAIN?

On this six-week, six-credit study abroad summer program in Spain, you will examine sustainable urban development and social justice in Seville and the European Union, where cities and local governments have control over the decisions affecting them. This program looks at multilevel governance in praxis: how a city actively participates in planning for its development. Explore how Seville is integrating territory, environment and sustainability, transportation, well-being, and more to balance the needs of institutions, corporations, NGOs, and, of course, its people. Learn how civil society becomes part of the discussion about how cities function and how housing is—or is not—a right in a post–pandemic economic crisis. You will have the opportunity to compare and contrast Seville’s experiences with other cities, such as Girona and Barcelona.

 

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.

QUOTE
"I learned about the stark differences between sustainable development and overall urban planning in the EU, specifically Spain, and the United States. This information was heavily reliant on experiential learning and it was 100% worthwhile."
