The 2007 Richard J. Daley Urban Forum - Building the Future City - being held on May 2, 2007 brings together mayors from around the world, business leaders, policy makers and scholars to examine how cities of the future will be built. Scholars in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs are very active in contributing analysis and ideas to debates about the building of the future city and, as signal of support for the 2007 Daley Urban Forum, we present here just some of our recent scholarship relating to this important theme in public policy.
