UDSC 223 - Urban and Suburban Housing Policies

This course will consider a broad range of topics, with special focus on the causes and consequences of the dominant spatial pattern of racial and income segregation in metropolitan areas and efforts to expand the supply and locations of affordable housing for low and moderate-income households. Specific topics we will examine include the history and politics of federal housing policies; public housing; homeless-ness; exclusionary zoning and efforts to “open up” the suburbs to lower income households; and community development corporations as producers of affordable housing.
