Learning unit contents
This course will address two field of investigation: town planning (and architecture) and criminality in its broad sense. Criminology and the urban landscape are connected in a number of very different ways. The course thus aims to provide a general overview and an introduction to the connections between these disciplines.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim of the course is to provide students with the tools to read different forms of criminality linked in different ways to the urban landscape. Of course it cannot provide an encyclopaedic coverage of knowledge of criminology, but aims to encourage students to take an intellectual position and to provide them with the theoretical foundations required to address different questions such as: the birth of gated communities, the development of shanty towns, the question of homelessness, urban violence, coercion and punishment through space (prisons, detention centres, situational crime prevention...), controlling public spaces, penalising poverty, the urban landscape during wartime, organisation of the police and the highway code, etc.
