Prasad Shevate has completed a 15-hour free online course called "Changing Cities" through The Open University. The course explored how processes of urbanization challenge concepts of political agency. It provided a framework for analyzing the causes, implications, and responses to common urban issues through various theories of critical spatial thinking. Prasad Shevate completed all sections of the course, satisfying the learning outcomes of demonstrating knowledge of critical spatial theories and applying them to analyze specific urban issues at both global and local levels.

Course summary
Urban processes are increasingly held to be
responsible for causing a variety of problems
environmental destruction, social injustice, global
financial instability. They are also identified as
harbouring the potential to meet these challenges
through urban experiments in sustainable living,
creative culture and alternative economies.
This free course, Changing cities, explores how
contemporary processes of urbanisation
challenge how we think about political agency,
providing a framework for the analysis of the
causes, implications and responses to issues of
common concern.
Learning outcomes
By completing this course, the learner should be
able to:
demonstrate knowledge and understanding of
key theories and styles of critical spatial
thinking and decision making as they relate to
the challenge of transforming urban areas
apply a range of critical spatial and social
theories to the analysis of specific issues
track the way that issues and challenges facing
specific places emerge and manifest
themselves
negotiate between a global level of analysis
and the issues that are manifest in specific
places.
