TOKYO, JAPAN: UP 212 International/Comparative Planning Workshop
Professor Evelyn Blumenberg
With a population of 12.58 million, Tokyo is the most populous city in the world and one of the most densely developed. During spring break 2008, students from the Department of Urban Planning will travel to Tokyo as part of UP212 International and Comparative Planning Workshop. The purpose of the course is to help students develop a comparative understanding of transportation and urban development issues in global cities. Specifically, the students will focus on the relationship between density and myriad planning issues including transit and port planning, sustainable development, disaster planning, and transit-oriented development. Based on the course readings as well as interviews with Tokyo-based planners, students will develop presentations highlighting the lessons that can be learned from Tokyo and their potential application to Los Angeles.
