The Global Urban Futures Project is inviting you to the Urban Economics Seminar series Fall 2015, Oct 29, 2015, 2:00 - 3:30pm @ Room 1103 6 E 16th Street, NY 10011
Dr. Angel, the Director of the NYU Urban Expansion Program, will introduce the program, its mission, its research findings, and its achievements to date. The primary mission of the Program is to lend assistance to the municipalities of rapidly growing cities in making room for their inevitable expansion, making realistic projections of the future land needs as well as minimum necessary preparations for accommodating the growth of their populations in an orderly and sustainable manner, ensuring that land remains plentiful and affordable. The secondary mission of the NYU Urban Expansion Program is to gain a better understanding of urban expansion the world over by monitoring it in the entire universe of the 4,000+ cities, and by collecting and analyzing evidence on the quantity of land required for urban expansion, on its physical organization and its affordability, and on the forces affecting it in a stratified global sample of 200 of these cities.
