Building Seminar: the Modern City: New York City s Infrastructure in a Global Context Department of History, College of Arts an Sciences, New York University V57.0830.001 T 3:30-6:10 Room TBA Professor Jonathan Soffer jsoffer@poly.edu office hours: TBA This seminar investigates the urban and environmental history of New York City s infrastructure, including water, sewage, transportation, housing, and office construction. We will investigate these systems within the context of the environmental, political, and economic concerns that shape the city s infrastructure, with a degree of attention to the transnational circulation of ideas about the design and construction of urban systems. Some of the basic questions include: how and why are infrastructure systems built? Why are they built the way they are? What are the environmental effects of the technologies used? Are the systems sustainable and interoperable? How do the ideas about infrastructural needs, design, and even financing circulate transnationally? You will be responsible to your fellow scholars for the quality of the seminar discussions, which will depend on timely readings, research and comments. Blackboard Website This course will use Blackboard for submission on written work, and communication. You will be expected to log on regularly to contribute to and read the course blog, and to receive e-mail.
