Economic activities tend to cluster together, while economic growth is more localized. Cities play a vital role in driving the structural transformation process in developing countries by acting as engines of economic growth. They offer various benefits of co-location to firms, households, and institutions, including external economies of agglomeration. However, cities also face numerous challenges, such as unregulated development, soaring land prices, housing shortages, inadequate civic infrastructure and services, traffic congestion, slums, poverty, pollution, environmental degradation, weak local governance, etc. This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of urban economics. We will also examine some contemporary urban issues in India, their underlying causes, and how urban economics can aid in designing public policies to address them. Urban economics introduces space into economic analysis. It studies urban phenomena using tools of economics. The field of urban economics is vast. It has a rich and growing body of research literature, including recent contributions from new economic geography. In this course, we will explore the fundamental theoretical models of urban economics to gain an understanding of why cities form, grow, or decline. We will also investigate what makes cities the engines of economic growth and how urban problems can be studied from an economic perspective. Moreover, we will refer to empirical studies that test some significant urban economic theories, particularly those related to agglomeration externalities.
The course aims to help students to:

The abnormal psychology course aims to sensitize the students about the existence of abnormal behaviour in order to develop greater social responsibility. The course coupled with the social psychology course of the previous semester and other courses from sociology, specifically with regard to social problems, would create a holistic understanding of the individual and their society. Further, the course would enable the student to develop a cultural understanding of abnormal behaviour within the Indian context and specifically to Bangalore. In Bangalore, there is a noticeable increase in the mental health issues faced by the population and the need for mental health practitioners who understand the difference between abnormal behaviour and distressing behaviour is a major requirement and the course would be the first step towards that direction. This course has been conceptualized in order to help the students develop an understanding of the historical development of the study of abnormal behaviour. The specific course aim is to create an understanding of the criteria and perspectives in abnormal behaviour, common classification systems, and range of disorders including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, somatic symptom disorders generally observed at childhood and adolescence, and personality disorders. This
course will help the learner understand

Course Description Anyone with an analytical mind and a basic knowledge of economics should be able to complete this course. Since economic activity is the root cause of many environmental issues, such as carbon emissions, over-harvesting of renewable resources, and pollution of the air and water as a result of industrial activity, this course looks at various strategies for changing behaviour through economic institutions like markets and incentives as well as through regulation, etc. By using techniques for the practical assessment of environmental products and services as well as the measurement of environmental damages, it also discusses the economic effects of environmental regulations. However, under the umbrella of sustainable development, the effects of economic expansion on the environment are also covered. The course's principles and methodologies are shown through environmental challenges and issues from the Indian and worldwide context, with a particular focus on global warming. Course Objectives: The course aims to help students to: 1. understand the theories of environmental economics; 2. analyse the fiscal tools and policy options in managing the environmental issues |
