The 21st century will be an urban century with more people around the world residing in metropolitan regions than in any other form of human settlement. The Global Metropolitan Studies (GMS) lecture series brings together faculty from a wide range of disciplines to discuss the effects of widespread urbanization in the global North and the global South. Issues include environmental challenges to entrenched patterns of segregation to new configurations of politics and social movements. This series is part of the GMS Initiative in the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley.
