Dr. Perlman Releases Report on Harvard 2018 Slums Symposium

Slums: New Visions for an Enduring Global Phenomenon was a symposium held at Harvard University in 2018 that challenged participants to discuss the range of perceptions and systemic changes needed to reimagine integrative urban and social landscapes, as well as the labor and land markets that most often underpin the formation of slums. Over three days, the symposium sought to advance new policy, financial, design, and educational tools that could both improve existing slums and generate alternatives to future ones.
