For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmIn this course we examine the relationship between public policy and urban design through readings, discussions, presentations, and papers. We also analyze the ways in which policies shape cities, and investigate how governments implement urban design. Students gain a critical understanding of both the complex system of governance within which urban design occurs and the effective tools available for creative intervention.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-337JSpring-2009/CourseHome/index.htmInam, Aseem2009-09-29T02:02:46-04:0011.337J4.247Jen-USArchitectureUrban Education and Leadershipgarden cityneighborhood unitnew urbanismbest practicesneighborhood designtoolkits for urban designcity designpolitical culturecommunity groupsprivate developerstools of governmenturban design policygovernmentdesign policyUrban Studies and PlanningMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThe primary purpose of this seminar is to enable students to craft approaches to so-called "First World" / "Third World" city comparisons that are theoretically sophisticated, methodologically rigorous, contextually grounded, and significantly beneficial. Since there exists very little literature and very few projects which compare “First World” and “Third World” cities in a sophisticated and genuinely useful manner, the seminar is structured around a series of readings, case studies, and discussions to assist students in becoming mindful of the potential and pitfalls of comparative analysis, the types of data, the methods of analysis, and the urban issues or sectors which may benefit the most from such approaches.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-941Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmInam, Aseem2009-09-28T04:53:12-04:0011.941en-USUrban Studies and PlanningUrban Education and Leadershippolicycomparative case studiesurbancultural analysisquantitative methodsqualitative methodsmulticulturalglobalizationcitycomparisonworldfirst thirdurban studiesMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmIntroduces transportation systems analysis, stressing demand and economic aspects. Covers the key principles governing transportation planning, investment, operations and maintenance. Introduces the microeconomic concepts central to transportation systems. Topics covered include economic theories of the firm, the consumer, and the market, demand models, discrete choice analysis, cost models and production functions, and pricing theory. Application to transportation systems include congestion pricing, technological change, resource allocation, market structure and regulation, revenue forecasting, public and private transportation finance, and project evaluation; covering urban passenger transportation, freight, aviation and intelligent transportation systems. The main objective of this course is to give broad insight into the different facets of transportation systems, while providing a solid introduction to transportation demand and cost analyses. As part of the core in the Master of Science in Transportation program, the course will not focus on a specific transportation mode but will use the various modes to apply the theoretical and analytical concepts presented in the lectures and readings. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Civil-and-Environmental-Engineering/1-201JFall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmBen-Akiva, Moshe2009-09-15T10:51:12-04:001.201JESD.210J11.545Jen-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringTransportation/Transportation Managementlarge-scale systemsinstitutional change analysisstrategic regional planningquantitative modelingintermodal combinationstransportation componentsequityland useurban structuresustainabilityeconomic developmentenergyenvironmentaltechnologydemand modellingproject evaluationintelligent transportation systemsproject financeconsumer theoryorganizational modelstravel demandtransportationUrban Studies and PlanningEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

Students in this course spend time each week observing pre-college math and science classes. Topics of study include design and implementation of curriculum, addressing the needs of a diversity of students, standards in math and science, student misconceptions, methods of instruction, the digital divide, teaching through different media, and student assessment.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-125Spring-2009/CourseHome/index.htmKlopfer, Eric2009-09-10T12:23:13-04:0011.125en-USUrban Studies and PlanningTeacher Education, Multiple LevelsUrban Studies/Affairsstudent assessmentteaching through different mediathe digital dividemethods of instructionstudent misconceptionsstandards in math and sciencediversitydesign and implementation of curriculumpre-college math and science classesobservingissues in schools and educationstudent-led classesstudent-centered classroom activitiesclassroom experiencesMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
