The Urban Growth Seminars are a series of seminars sponsored by USC’s Sol Price School of Public Policy to highlight current issues in urban growth and development. Each of the knowledgeable speakers in this series demonstrates the role of his or her respective field in urban society by blending academic analysis and theory with real world issues and solutions. The topics span across all the fields taught and researched at USC Price and in the past have included urban planning, real estate, the environment, politics, economics and public policy.
