Taught jointly by ISS and the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies, this MOOC will answer such questions as:
- Why does economic development take place in some areas of the world and not in others?
- Why doesn’t it happen in your place?
- What prevents people from having the lives they want to live right there?
- Could your region make more of the opportunities of globalization and new technologies?
- Did the promises of decentralization in your country fail to deliver better public services and more responsive governments?
