Where are cities located, how are they organized, and what are they like is the topic of this program.

• Political Boundaries

  One of the most important subjects in human geography is the relationship between political power, people, and space or territory. Dr. Murphy guides us through the understanding of how political power has evolved and moved across the landscape. This understanding is one of the keys to confronting social and economic challenges.
