Please join us on Wednesday, January 15th for Urban Design & Planning’s Professional Council winter lecture. Runstad Department faculty member Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern will be leading a discussion on homelessness and sharing their research and expertise.
When: January 15th
Where: UW Seattle Campus, Architecture Hall room 147
Time: 6:00-8:30 pm
Why is homelessness more prevalent in some cities than others? Gregg Colburn, Associate Professor in the Runstad Department of Real Estate, and Clayton Page Aldern challenge common assumptions and show how housing market conditions—especially cost and availability—offer a more compelling explanation. Their research reveals why cities like Seattle experience higher rates of homelessness compared to cities like Chicago.
Join us for this discussion, followed by a reception to connect with fellow attendees.
We hope to see you there for this important conversation. Please RSVP here
