Faculty member Laura Wolf-Powers has two articles out this fall. One, “Food Deserts and Real Estate-Led Social Policy,” argues that the popularity of the “food desert” meme has have led policymakers astray in their responses to food insecurity. It was published in the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research. The other, co-authored with colleagues at University of Illinois and Portland State University, examines the entrepreneurs at the center of the urban “maker” phenomenon and reflects on implications for local manufacturing and economic development policy. It appears in the fall issue of the Journal of the American Planning Association.
