Howard J. Samuels Memorial Lecture. Why is the Rent so Darn High? Cities, Infrastructure and Housing

Join us for a public lecture, organized and hosted by the Howard J. Samuels State and City Policy Center at Baruch College, on the causes and consequences of rising housing costs, by Edward L. Glaeser, Professor of Economics at Harvard University. Dr. Glaeser will examine why housing has become increasingly unaffordable in major cities and what policy choices can and cannot do to address the housing crisis in urban centers including New York.
