This course provides a critical introduction to the shape and determinants of political, social, and economic inequality in urban America, and the history, development, and current prospects of the fields of housing and local economic development.

The course begins with an exploration of the way cities are used to imagine and advance utopian visions. What is justice and what does it mean in the specifically urban context? It then explores ways in which housing and community economic development policy relate to current discussions of economic and racial inequality and neighborhood change. The second section of the course situates housing and community development policy within their historical, political, and institutional contexts. What is the relationship between federal policy and private, non-profit or social movement activism? What are the implications of the historical trajectory of federal, state, and local urban policies for poverty, economic inequality, and racial disparities in access to opportunity? The third section of the course provides an introduction to housing policy in the United States, particularly policies designed to produce affordable housing. It explores federal policy related to private, market-rate owner and renter occupied housing; private subsidized housing; and public housing. It also presents state, local, and non-profit led strategies to create and preserve affordable housing, such as fair share requirements and builder’s remedies, inclusionary zoning, and community land trusts. The fourth section of the course provides an introduction to community economic development policy in the United States, particularly policies focusing on small business development, low-wage workers, and economic democracy. It begins by examining theories of economic development and drivers of economic inequality. It then explores local business development,

2

job upgrading, and economic equity policies, as well as movements for more cooperative and democratic economic structures. The fifth section of the course uses an analysis of scale to situate housing and economic development policies in the context of federalism. Why focus on local governments and local policy? What is the balance between particularism and universalism? What role does local government law and municipal fragmentation play in perpetuating inequality in access to opportunity? The final section of the course explores the role of the state in social welfare and the role of collective action in advancing access to opportunity.

Throughout the semester, optional, recommended readings provide examples of how these issues are being addressed in Boston, in other cities in the United States, and internationally. Class Participation:

This is a discussion-based, rather than lecture-based, course. Students should be well prepared to participate actively in class discussions, with well-supported arguments based on the readings (not just opinions), and should make an effort to build on and react to the arguments of classmates and faculty. The quality of your participation will make up 15% of your final course grade. Assignments: Requirements and grading are as follows: • In-class participation (15%). Be prepared, ask questions, make arguments supported by the readings, listen to each other. • A brief weekly response paper of roughly 500 words each (25%). These should present a critical assessment of the assigned material and not a mere restatement of content. The responses give you an opportunity to analyze key ideas that cut across readings, identify questions the readings prompt you to ask, suggest critiques of the data, methodology, or conclusions, or raise concepts you want to clarify. You will be expected to submit one response per week via the Forum section of Stellar, either on Monday at 3:00 pm, discussing the Tuesday readings, or Wednesday at 3:00 pm, discussing the Thursday readings. No response paper is expected in the first or last weeks, therefore a total of 11 responses should be submitted. The responses will be graded on a √+, √, √- scale. A “√+” will count for 5 out of 5 points, a “√” 4 out of 5 points, and a “√-“ 3 out of 5 points. • Current event presentation (10%). Pick two weeks to present, in pairs. Briefly present a current event relevant to that week’s readings and facilitate a 15 minute discussion exploring how the readings shed light on that event. • OPTIONAL assignment - Tremont/Washington Street walk (Extra credit - 5%). In groups of 2 or 3, walk from the Chinatown T station to Dudley Station (about 2 miles). Observe and document some of the physical, economic, cultural, organizational, and social assets you observe, both visually and in any interactions or conversations you have with merchants, passersby, or people waiting for transit (please don’t conduct interviews, but striking up a casual conversation is encouraged). Pick one of the neighborhoods that you have

3

walked through – Chinatown, the South End, or Lower Roxbury. How would you characterize that neighborhood’s primary strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats? What external threats and opportunities facing the area as a whole may play out in that neighborhood? Write 500-700 words briefly summarizing your analysis, with 1-3 tables of relevant data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey that reinforce your points. Due on Stellar Sunday, September 10 at 5:00 pm. • Midterm Exam (20%). A take-home midterm exam will comprise 25% of your grade. Midterms will be graded anonymously. Please do not put your name on your midterm. Due on Stellar Friday, October 6 at 5:00 pm. • Research Paper or Project of Change Proposal (25%). Beginning in week four, students should form groups of not more than four students to work collaboratively on either 1) a final research paper or 2) a proposal for a project that responds to a contemporary issue in housing or community economic development. The research paper or the project of change may be designed in collaboration with a local community-based organization, public agency, or by the team without outside consultation. A preliminary outline or description for the paper or project is due on Friday, September 29, at 5:00 pm. The preliminary outline should be 500-800 words and should describe (1) the question or problem that is the subject of the proposed research paper or project of change, (2) the theoretical concepts from the course relevant to answering the question or making the change, (3) the data (qualitative, quantitative, or archival) relevant to answering that question or designing the project, and (4) the methods of analysis or intervention that will be used. The final research paper or project of change proposal is due on Friday, December 1 at 5:00 pm and should not exceed 2,500 words. • Final Presentation (5%). Over the last 3 days of class, each group will present their research to their classmates in a prepared presentation not to exceed 12 minutes. Presentations will be evaluated on their content, organization, delivery, and ability to end on time. Grading Rubric The following grading rubric will be applied to evaluate written submissions:

I) Does it answer the question? (30%) i. Does it have a clear thesis that is responsive to the question?

ii. Does it support this thesis with appropriate evidence? II) Does it incorporate concepts and methodologies from the assigned readings? (40%)

i. Does it interpret and apply those readings correctly? ii. Does it add original critiques and analyses of those readings?

III) Does it present an original argument? (20%) i. Does it display critical thinking?

ii. Does it offer innovative insights? IV) Does it present a compelling, well-structured argument? (10%)

i. Does it have a logical structure that supports the development of the thesis?

ii. Does it engage with counter-arguments and acknowledge weaknesses?

Grading Scale Grades are assigned using the following scale: A+ 97-100 A 94-96 A- 90-93 B+ 87-89 B 83-86 B- 80-82 C+ 77-79 C 73-76 C- 70-72 Late submissions

All submissions should be submitted via Stellar. In the event that medical or other personal circumstances arise that interfere with your

ability to complete assignments on time, extension requests can be made to the Office of the Dean of Graduate Education (http://odge.mit.edu). If the ODGE decides that an extension is warranted, they will send a generic note that your assignment deadline should be extended without penalty. This policy is intended to preserve your privacy.

Any assignment submitted after the deadline, without a request for an extension that was approved by ODGE, will be marked down 5 points out of 100. Any assignment more than 3 hours late will be marked down a further 10 points. A further 10 points will be deducted for each day the assignment is late.
