EA 165 PZ - Ghost Towns: The Built Environment and Natural Resource Depletion

This course examines the relationship between the built environment, natural resources, and sustainability in the demise of towns and cities. We begin with an overview of debates surrounding environmental degradation and social stability in Mesopotamia and other regions. We then examine settlements across California that have essentially become “ghost towns.” This course requires a spring break and several week-end field trips
