On Thursday, May 1 and Friday, May 2, The Fletcher School at Tufts University and The MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth are hosting “The Inclusive City,” a conference to study the economic growth of city populations.
Mathematics Professor Manil Suri is giving a lecture at the conference and will also participate in a problem-solving session on creating affordable housing in India.
The conference aims to answer such questions as: How can we develop and plan cities so that they respond to the unique needs of the urban poor while ensuring that opportunities are open to people of all socioeconomic strata? And what is the state of urban experience, particularly for the poor?
