PERU Urban Development & Human & Ecological Health in the Amazon Rainforest – Summer B Term
Iquitos, a city in the Amazon Rainforest, is the fifth largest city in Peru with 0.5 million people. The organically formed urban development has exacerbated poverty levels and social inequity with profound implications to quality of life, health and well-being and ecological resilience.This program is offered by the Departments of Landscape Architecture and Global Health. The program will immerse students in contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue surrounding intersections between urban design, global health and ecology in the Amazon ecosystem. Students will study pristine rainforest ecosystems and compare to new periurban nodes and mature urban developments that are coming face-to-face with social, ecological and health crises at local and global scales. Students will also visit projects and initiatives leading efforts aimed at mitigating these problems and will apply tools to research, document and assess the built and natural environments.
