William Easterly & Laura Freschi: The Long History of a Short Block

National and even city aggregates can conceal dynamism at smaller scales. A history of one block in Manhattan over more than a century shows how it had many ups and downs and many turbulent transitions, but twice achieved unexpected and remarkable success. (Work is co-authored with Steven Pennings.)

This talk was part of "Cities and Development: Urban Determinants of Success" — the NYU Development Research Institute's 2014 Conference, hosted jointly with the Marron Institute of Urban Management. The conference touched on the role of cities in the development process.
