The 2nd Annual Urban Development Now symposium will explore the relationship between urban development and capital, specifically projects in Chicago, Miami, New York, Detroit and London - cities that exhibit a paradox of significant high-end investment and simultaneous challenges in sustaining multi-class housing and cultural amenities. What is the appropriate level of public investment in private development? What are the most critical infrastructure needs occurring alongside rampant urban development? How do resources flow from profitable development to partially subsidized development such as affordable housing, public space and cultural institutions and eventspace? The symposium will explore these issues through the lens of leaders in architecture, real estate and urban development who are on the front lines of large-scale developments that engage multiple constituencies, political bodies and capital providers. The symposium will open up dialogue on the scale and pace of development in inner-cities, the role of urban infill, and the role of temporal events (art bienniales, sports events such as the World Cup and Olympics) to spur economic development. Case studies of specific urban precincts and mixed-use projects - some developed over long periods of time - will provide both an historical and contemporary perspective on new and innovative mixed-use and mixed-class development paradigms. Participants will discuss the centrality of design architectural and urban design) in creating long-term value and in providing high-quality design using innovative financing mechanisms.
