Competing approaches to community development will be explored in a symposium being held Friday, April 11, at the Law School, 127 Wall St.
Titled "Urban Community Development: Market, Government and Social Forces," the event is being presented by the Law School in cooperation with its Housing and Community Development Clinic and the Yale Law and Enterprise Forum.
In recent years, policymakers and urban community development practitioners have increasingly been applying market-based solutions to the challenges of housing, education and job creation, say the event's organizers. Some critics of the market-based paradigm, however, advocate for a social program that puts a priority on engaging marginalized communities to advocate successfully for economic justice, note the organizers.
The symposium will take place 8 a.m.-6 p.m. It will begin with keynote addresses from champions of these competing positions. Subsequent panels on education, housing, retail development and job creation will examine innovative approaches to community development, focusing on the role of markets, social mobilization and government.
Symposium participants include faculty members from Yale and other academic institutions, local developers, members of local government, community organizers, educational administrators and students.
The event is free and open to the public, but those who wish to attend are asked to pre-register on-line. For further information or to register, visit http://islandia.law.yale.edu/urbandev; or contact Parviz Parvizi at (203) 752-9624 or via e-mail at parviz.parvizi@yale.edu.
