Topics in Urban Management: Student Papers
+ Kevin Cromar
We are pleased to recognize Kelly Clifford, Muhammad Daud, and Katarina Hall for writing exceptional papers in "Topics in Urban Management (POL-GA 2334)" — a class offered by the Marron Institute and NYU's Wilf Family Department of Politics during the Fall semester of 2017. Faculty and researchers affiliated with the Marron Institute taught lectures on a range of topics including: urban growth, transportation, housing affordability, drug and crime policy, and municipal finance. We are posting the students' papers on our website to acknowledge their accomplishment and to demonstrate a small part of the diversity and depth of issues facing today's civic leaders. We look forward to continuing to engage with students on these and similar topics both in the classroom and as part of our ongoing research at the Marron Institute.
