Housing Policy in the U.S

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

This seminar explores housing as an expression of urban economies and as a subject of federal and local policy making in the United States. The course is taught through an in-depth review of historical case studies which investigate the outsized impact that federal policy has had on local housing typologies and neighborhood settlement patterns. The course includes a critical assessment of housing policy as a tool of racial segregation and spatial dispersion in the United States.
