Harvard Law School Panel Discussion
Tim Love is one of four panelists invited to comment on the new book “City Bound: How States Stifle Urban Innovation” by Gerald E. Fung and David J. Barron. The authors, both professors at the Harvard Law School, make the case that the legal structure that binds city power to state authority limits the ability of cities to do comprehensive planning. Love will discuss the issues raised by the book in the context of potential approaches to the redevelopment of Government Center in Boston. Utile recently explored a range of strategies for the district on behalf of the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency (MassDevelopment).
The other panelists are Susan Fainstein, Professor of Urban Planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design; Robert J. Sampson, Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences at Harvard University; and Sam Bass Warner, Visiting Professor of Urban History at MIT.
