ARTH 303 Countryside Planning (Same as Environmental Studies 303) (Not offered 1999-2000)
This course is a research seminar directed at future alternatives for, and the effects of, change upon such countryside elements as the small town, tourism, the farm and ranch, woodland and wildland-in a context of private and public ownership, modernization and technological change, scale, density, sentiment, and the concepts of amenity and environmental quality. Comparisons will be made between American, Canadian, and British practice. The ideas developed will be tested against specific case studies. Requirements: several short papers and a case study or plan. No prerequisites. Open to sophomores.
