Download iCal FileJoin CUPPS (the Urban Planning & Policy PhD students) for a presentation featuring Devin Michelle Bunten, Assistant Professor of Urban Economics & Housing at MIT's Department of Urban Studies & Planning. Gentrification displaces people. And yet, quantitative researchers have had difficulty confirming this. Is the problem in how we measure gentrification? This informative session will demonstrate how the use of a novel metric based on price-to-income ratios enables new insights on the topic. Bunten will explain how she uses a combination of theory, measurement, and history to recontextualize current research on gentrification's causes. More information about the event here.
