Abstract:
Whether you are creating a massive market-rate residential project, a large mixed-use development, affordable housing, or almost any other kind of development, developers typically attempt to gather support from community stakeholders, elected officials, and government agencies by touting several familiar factors. The supposed advantages typically include job creation, increased housing supply and affordability, catalytic economic development, and a stronger tax base. This talk will highlight other less frequently touted but equally important outcomes. The talk will focus on three historic preservation projects in Harlem, New York, that became anchor institutions that transformed neighborhood revitalization.
