Description
Students analyze and take inspiration from Winnipeg's history of inner-city counterplanning, investigating the emergence and political function of the term "inner city" in Winnipeg, especially its role as a coalition-building identity. Students trace how innercity conditions have been produced not simply by top-down processes such as neoliberalism but by local movements that mediate such processes. Students read this history not only as a chronicle of social action but as a regional epistemological tradition and body of critical urban theory. Topics include the Inner City Committee for Rail Relocation, Inner City Voice newspaper, and the Community Inquiry Into Inner City Revitalization.
