Planning Inclusive Cities

"Annette Kim of the University of South California gives a seminar as part of the World Resources Report on Cities Research Seminar Series. Even in centrally planned cities, informal markets reveal the housing demand preferences not being served by either public policy or formal markets. Dr. Kim distills lessons for a more inclusive planning paradigm from her research of rural to urban land use conversions in Ho Chi Minh City, Beijing's subterranean housing marketing, and Shanghai's overcrowded housing units market."
