This workshop explores the topic of Contested Urban Futures. We will examine the concept of contested urban futures through a study of the growing challenges facing cities in the near and medium term. Growing political conflicts, social and cultural tensions, economic fractures, environmental debates are all occurring at a critical time for cities, as we adapt and evolve cities to meet new and changing needs of all residents in the 21st-century city. While we will look directly at contestation, the true outcome of the class will be finding opportunity spaces within this contestation to reshape the city to fully engage residents, create vibrancy, and work towards economic, social, and environmental sustainability and resiliency.

M (01/22/2008 - 05/09/2008) 3 credits This workshop examines what it takes to revitalize neighborhoods or commercial areas in disadvantaged communities. This is a daunting challenge because of the multiple and inter-related dynamic factors that perpetuate the disadvantaged condition. As a class, we will work to understand the nature of that challenge, and we will explore and discuss a toolkit of analytical methods, development and business strategies, and organizational approaches that can be instrumental in overcoming barriers and fostering positive change. Students will develop a case study that examines a successful revitalization process, and identifies the planning and implementation elements that were most pivotal in that process. Tom Leighton, AICP is a principal planner with the city of Minneapolis. sec -002 Urban Real Estate Development: Fundamentals, Process and Outcome 06:00 P.M. - 09:00 P.M. , W (01/22/2008 - 05/09/2008) , BlegH 240 , TCWESTBANK , 3 credits This course will (1) explore and explain disparate disciplines that interact with and depend on each other in urban real estate development while (2) explaining development itself as a holistic, ecological process and profession. The class will first explore the fundamental disciplines involved in the urban real estate development process, including budgeting and finance, property management and asset management. Then the course will examine these fundamentals in simulated real estate developments in a chosen Twin Cities neighborhood. The class will have a chance to explore high profile, ongoing Twin Cities? development(s) through site visit(s). Students must have or be willing to develop a basic comfort with spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel), and must be open to learning more about financial analysis, a critical fundamental language of urban development. Pat Connolly was a housing specialist for Commonbond Housing, and is now the director of housing development for Lutheran Social Services.

URBS 3500 Urban Studies Workshops sec -001 Revitalization: Planning and Implementation, 06:30 P.M. - 09:30 P.M. M (01/22/2008 - 05/09/2008) 3 credits This workshop examines what it takes to revitalize neighborhoods or commercial areas in disadvantaged communities. This is a daunting challenge because of the multiple and inter-related dynamic factors that perpetuate the disadvantaged condition. As a class, we will work to understand the nature of that challenge, and we will explore and discuss a toolkit of analytical methods, development and business strategies, and organizational approaches that can be instrumental in overcoming barriers and fostering positive change. Students will develop a case study that examines a successful revitalization process, and identifies the planning and implementation elements that were most pivotal in that process. Tom Leighton, AICP is a principal planner with the city of Minneapolis. sec -002 Urban Real Estate Development: Fundamentals, Process and Outcome 06:00 P.M. - 09:00 P.M. , W (01/22/2008 - 05/09/2008) , BlegH 240 , TCWESTBANK , 3 credits This course will (1) explore and explain disparate disciplines that interact with and depend on each other in urban real estate development while (2) explaining development itself as a holistic, ecological process and profession. The class will first explore the fundamental disciplines involved in the urban real estate development process, including budgeting and finance, property management and asset management. Then the course will examine these fundamentals in simulated real estate developments in a chosen Twin Cities neighborhood. The class will have a chance to explore high profile, ongoing Twin Cities? development(s) through site visit(s). Students must have or be willing to develop a basic comfort with spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel), and must be open to learning more about financial analysis, a critical fundamental language of urban development. Pat Connolly was a housing specialist for Commonbond Housing, and is now the director of housing development for Lutheran Social Services.
