Join the Boston University Initiative on Cities on Thursday, November 9, 2017, at 4:30pm at 213 Bay State Road to welcome Richard Florida to campus. Florida will present a lecture on his new book, The New Urban Crisis: How Our Cities Are Increasing Inequality, Deepening Segregation, and Failing the Middle Class—and What We Can Do About It.
Best known for his concept of the creative class, Florida’s latest book examines the adverse consequences of contemporary urban migration as cities grapple with growing inequality, housing affordability, and gentrification. He offers prescriptions to cities keen to respond to these shifts and nurture or maintain more inclusive communities.
