Come join a panel of nationally renowned housing experts Chris Leinberger, John McIlwain, and Robert Bowman discuss the future of housing and how it relates to Smart Growth. The event American Dream or American Nightmare: Housing after the Great Recession will be held on November 8, 2012 from 8am to 11:30 am at PECO, Energy Hall 2301 Market Street in Philadelphia.
Generation of Americans in the 20th century moved out of cities, seeking more land, space, and privacy. Since the second world war, every prior downturn was followed by a swift uptick and resumption of growth, satisfying our social norms of “success” and fueling our primary source of savings. Are we experiencing a long pause from this virtuous cycle or the beginning of a “new normal?”
