This semester I was unable to register for any classes offered through SDSU's department of City Planning, where I am working towards my masters degree. As to not get sidetracked from my academic pursuit, I opened my options up to what is being taught throughout the entire University.
A friend of mine offered a few recommendations, and the one that stood out was called Culture and Society of Tijuana, an entire class devoted to Tijuana!
As an Urban Planning student living in San Diego, Tijuana has captured my attention from the day I moved here over eight years ago.
I’ve had the opportunity to write a couple of research papers and interview important people about the history of planning between our border cities and Tijuana’s public spaces. To further my area of interest, it only seemed appropriate that I register for this class, even if it was an undergraduate course that didn’t count towards my major.
