Universities, colleges, and other major institutions are among the largest landowners, employers, and purchasers of services in urban areas. The real estate investment decisions and employment practices of these institutions are having growing impacts on efforts to revitalize economically challenged communities. Reardon will discuss the emerging principles of good practice for community/university development partnerships in relation to his recent work in New York City, East St. Louis, and New Orleans. Reardon is currently an associate professor of city and regional planning at Cornell. He will be joining the U of M this summer as a professor and director of the graduate program in city and regional planning.This is the third workshop in the series “Urban Design and Placemaking: A New Model for Growth and Redevelopment Around Universities and Other Major Institutions." The series is funded by an Urban Land Institute Action Grant and is sponsored by ULI-Memphis and the University of Memphis. |
