Case Studies in Sustainable Development: Smart Cities & Urban Innovation SA.680.784 This course will provide students an opportunity to author a publishable-quality case study on a set of topics related to sustainable cities and urban systems. The first part of the course will include a review of existing case studies from the Harvard Business School and other case study programs, followed by a methodological review of what makes a good case study. The second half of the term will focus on the research and development of one new case study by each student (or student team) focused on the core issues of integrated planning and economic, environmental, and social trade-offs of specific urban sustainable development challenges. The final products of this course will be a set of case studies; the top papers from the spring and fall semesters are anticipated to be compiled into an edited volume for publication. Economics of Natural Resources SA.680.851 Presents fundamental concepts and their application in the economics of nonrenewable and renewable resources as well as related environmental issues. Topics include economic scarcity of natural resources, efficient resource allocation over time, the roles of market forces and public policy, non-market resources and sustainable development.

Energy Governance in China SA.680.769 This course uses energy as a window to look at how the Chinese political system tackles complex policy problems in the era of reform and globalization. It analyzes the multiple dimensions of the energy challenges facing China, examines how its energy sectors respond to these challenges over time and how these sectors have evolved since the country opened to the world and launched economic reforms in 1978. It also explains the governing structures, institutions, and processes through which China governs its energy economy and makes its energy policies and decisions. Finally, it evaluates the system performance, system capacity, and system direction of the Chinese state by investigating how China confronts climate change and energy security challenges domestically and internationally.
