The first course in the methods sequence introduces concepts and applications for urban data: where it comes from, its sources and applications. It stresses a critical-making approach in which projects build essential skills while also fostering critical discussion about the possibilities and limits of the tools, the uses and misuses of data, and alternate modes of data gathering, including field work, qualitative sources, and analog methods.
