	1(b). Elements of Geography
		Geography is also discipline that integrates a wide variety of subject matter.
		Physical geography's primary subdisplines study the Earth's atmosphere (meteorology and climatology), animal and plant life (biogeography), physical landscape (geomorphology), soils (pedology), and waters (hydrology).
		Geography's strength comes from its ability to connect functional interrelationships that are not normally noticed in narrowly defined fields of knowledge.

		Students interested in focusing their geography program in areas such as environmental design, cultural ecology, global studies, land-use planning, or historic preservation should see the department for a list of recommended course sequences in geography and related disciplines.
		Students pursuing a correlate sequence in geography are required to complete a minimum of six courses in the department, including an introductory course and at least one 300-level seminar.
		We focus on several emerging research themes: innovative methods of studying urban environmental history; contemporary efforts to conserve deteriorating urban environments; and participatory citizenship and social justice in planning for “eco-cities.” Attention is given to such city-regions as New York, San Francisco, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, London, Istanbul, and Cairo.

	Geography Course Descriptions
		Physical geography examines spatial elements of the physical environment--weather, climate, vegetation, soils and landforms.
		Urban Geography is concerned with instilling in students a working knowledge of the development, structure, functioning, and distribution of centers of human social, economic, and political activity, cities, through the application of spatial theories and models of human behavior.
		Theories of urban/economic development are discussed to document the dynamic nature of the discourse on Urban Geography and to provide a basis upon which students may interpret subsequent issues covered in the course and to evaluate their own urban experiences.

	IngentaConnect Quality-of-Life Research in Urban Geography
		The 1980s represent a significant period for the development of urban geography—a decade that advanced the reformation of urban geography as a conceptually sound, analytically powerful, integrative discipline capable of making a distinctive contribution to mainstream social science research on the city.
		This paper outlines the main developments in urban geography in the 1980s with particular reference to themes relating to quality-of-life research.
		The discussion introduces the concept of "useful knowledge" within the context of "applied urban geography"; examines the key dimensions of quality-of-life research in urban geography; and concludes by adopting a prospective viewpoint to identify a number of quality-of-life issues of significance for the urban geography of the 21st century.

		Responsible planning in urban communities requires an understanding of the human and physical geographies of these communities, and contemporary planning practice demands familiarity with advanced geographic techniques and information systems.
		Conversely, expertise in geography – and particularly concentration in urban geography – may require an understanding of and competence to deal with the planning dynamics of urban communities.
		The objective of this program is to meet the needs of both Urban Planning and Geography for interdisciplinary knowledge by offering a dual degree program for the graduate student who intends to engage professionally in both planning and geography.

		Urban Geography will continue to publish an eclectic mix of submitted papers, arranged special issues and symposia, progress reports, hackle-raising editorials, and book reviews, fully intending to maintain the inclusiveness and the momentum that Jim Wheeler has provided.
		Most of the researchers (from fields as different as urban and social geography, anthropology, political sciences, urban sociology, architecture and city planning) are critical of the consequences of (such) a material and social fragmentation of the cities.
		Since urban ecology is inherently interdisciplinary, and since the issues that impact urban living are complex and since these issues are unlikely to be solved by any one discipline, we encourage multi/interdisciplinary approaches.
