A new publication from the Woodrow Wilson Center highlights innovative thinking on reducing urban poverty.
Changing Cities: Climate, Youth and Land Markets in Urban Areas features eight essays by graduate students in the field of urban planning and development.
The eight essays were selected through an academic paper competition sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Comparative Urban Studies Project, USAID’s Urban Programs Team, the International Housing Coalition, Cities Alliance, and the World Bank.
Launched in 2010, the paper competition seeks to strengthen the ties between urban policymaking and scholarly work on urban development and disseminate evidence-based development programming.
