Abstract
The challenge we authors of this case faced was that of learning how to teach urbanism, the science of cities, to students in the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. There were several steps in the process. We, ourselves, had to learn to be urbanists. We had to win support for this systems approach. Then we had to develop teaching tools that could work in the context of public health training.
