Course overview
This international study tour is led by University of Adelaide teaching staff. It enables University of Adelaide students to learn about cities and/or regions through a guided immersive experience to diverse cities and/or regions in selected countries. Students will discover new approaches to city living and regional development and will contrast these approaches with their knowledge of the Australian context. The tours will address governance arrangements and the everyday routines that produce places. They will also examine key aspects of cities and/or regions which may include housing, sustainability initiatives, infrastructure and sub-cultures.
