Join SPUR for a special learning session on French housing models with SPUR alum Magda Maaoui. The session will explore lessons for California’s needs which can be gleaned from the French housing system. We will cover classic and innovative tools, from fair-share mandates to adaptive reuse and infill densification, from old ways of regulating and financing affordable housing to public-private partnerships. In the post-election uncertain context planners, policymakers and housing advocates have to navigate, we will share actionable insights on how the local makes a difference, even in a strong welfare state like France. Dr. Maaoui is an Assistant Professor of Urban Planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and a Researcher affiliated with the Joint Center for Housing Studies, the Healthy Places Design Lab, and the Harvard Data Science Initiative. Prior to that, she was an Urban Planner and Research Associate at the Atelier Parisien d\u2019Urbanisme (APUR), acted as an external expert consultant for the OECD, and was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Paris Cit\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
