The course was very interesting and begins with the correct historic perspective, going through every stage of the city and ends with contemporary trends. Includes history, facts, numbers and lots of information that can be further interpreted by oneself. Thank you.

Thanks You.

Very informative and useful information.

A really interesting and bold introduction course for urban studies.

Easy going, comprehensive, not boring, good references on classics without overloading.

Mes compliment les plus sinceres a Patrick le Galle, la presentation brilliante et tres vif!

Great course and good introduction to urbanist history and theory

It is a great course to learn more about the cities, the different cultures in the world, how the population and the cities are growing up in the technological and social way. I really enjoy it!

Greetings from México.

What a phenomenally interesting topic! Prof. Le Galès sweeps through a large field of literature, presenting different approaches and views on cities each week, giving a guided tour of the characteristics of the many fascinating models of urban sociology and urbanisation. For me, a real eye-opener and an inspiration to look further into sociology and urbanisation, the latter clearly being a vital topic for the 21st century.

That you so much for putting this course together! (Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in where the planet is going and why we got to where we are now, even with no background in sociology or geography.)

The course is good but it needs to introduce certificate or any kind of poof

Very nice and informative course.

interesting course

Uno de los mejores cursos sobre el tema! unico!

So far the best course at coursera. The resource persons are superb. no words for the superb designing of the course.

Teacher who tech about Urban Sociology in this course which me know anymore. Thank!

thank u

This is one of the better MOOCS in Coursera. So relevant to my work and the discussions are thought-provoking. Hoping there is a sequel. All best.

Really enjoyed this course and the way in which it was presented.

Stimulating and thoughtful with lots of ideas that I found relevant to my own experiences in the UK and Hong Kong. As a retired Geography Teacher, with a particular interest in the historical geography of rural settlement, I joined the course out of an almost casual interest in how the geography and sociology of urban settlement has developed over the last decade. I am now 'hooked' on the idea of a 'globalising urban world' and am reading 'on' and around the subject with renewed interest and making plans to visit some of the cities mentioned in the course.

Thank you for opening up this fascinating insight into the world of the 21st century.

Very Informative!

Fascinating and inspiring!

The material is very, very good!

I am not very confortable with the professor as a lecturer, though. He is very distractig. At the end I opted for just reading the transcripts instead of watching the videos.

It is slightly annoying that the References are not properly quoted sometimes.

The course was great, however I think it should be more video content.

this course is a decent introduction and overview from a sociological perspective, of the city. It is well structured, progresses quickly, and begins to contrast the sociological analysis with contemporary theory and critical approaches.

Topic and approach are interesting, however the disturbingly-modulated voice and exaggerated accent of the professor can get a bit unbearable at times and make lectures arduous to follow and enjoy.
