Course Description: Most Americans live in urban areas and urban governments undoubtedly provide us with our closest interaction with political life. Yet despite this proximity, this level of government remains among the least studied and least appreciated aspects of American political life. In this course we'll study the history, structure, and processes of urban government in the United States.
