The community development and housing
concentration exposes students to the practices and theory of community
development and housing. Coursework examines: the history and practice
of community development; the processes that shape urban change; the operations
of housing markets and housing finance; the ways in which affordable housing is
built and maintained; participatory and community planning methods; issues of
gender, race, class, and power; and social and economic policy formation, implementation, and evaluation. This concentration meets the needs of students
with a range of interests including community and community economic
development and finance, housing development and rehabilitation, community
planning and revitalization, urban poverty, and health. Students take at least
two of the required courses and at least four courses total in the concentration.
