Barcelona is known for having one of the most thriving contemporary cultures in the world. This global city is a model of sustainable urban change for other world cities and offers a rich modern culture as well as an important political and historical background. Barcelona’s current mayor, Ada Colau, was a well-known housing activist before becoming the city’s first female mayor. This study abroad course provides a unique opportunity to experience and study Barcelona City through lectures and custom-made guided tours. This course will enable students to understand Barcelona and its new urban policies which are focused on promoting a “common good” through the co-management of urban spaces (BUITS Plan), initiatives towards environmental justice, and participatory governance policies.
