Themes in Urban Geography

Code: SOES225

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 1

This module explores contemporary themes in urban geography and examines how spatial processes shape modern cities. Key topics include retail geographies and supply chain landscapes, population dynamics and consumer demand, segregation and gentrification, transportation and mobility, and urban accessibility, including the 15-minute city concept. Through lectures and applied practical sessions, students engage with theoretical frameworks and analytical approaches used to interpret urban change and inequality. Scenario-based and group assessments develop skills in spatial analysis, critical evaluation, professional reporting, and collaborative working, preparing students for advanced study and a range of urban-focused careers.
